Ah, the Apple Trees When the World Was Young
They call me coquette, and mademoiselle, And I must admit I like it quite well. It's something to be the darling of all; Le grande femme fatale, the belle of the ball, There's nothing as gay as life in Paris, There's no other person, I'd rather be, I love what I do, I love what I see, But where is the schoolgirl that used to be meâ?¦.
Ah, the apple trees, Where at garden teas, Jack-o-lanterns swung: Fashions of the day, Vests of applique, Dresses of shantung, Only yesterday. When The World Was Young
While sitting around we often recall, The laugh of the year ' the night of them all, The blonds who was so attractive that year, Some opening night that made us all cheer; Remember that time we all got so tight, And Jacques and Antoine got into a fight, The gendarmes who came, passed out like a light, I laugh with the rest ' it's all very bright.
Ah, the apple trees, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Sunlight memories, Where the hammock swung, On our backs we'd lie; Looking at the shy, 'Til the stars were strung, Only last July, When the World Was Young.
You'll see me in Cape D'Antibes, or in Spain, I follow the sun by boat or by plane, It's any old millionaire in a storm, For I've got my mink to keep my heart warm: And sometimes I drink too much with the crowd, And, sometimes I talk a little too loud, My head may be aching, but it's unbowed, And sometimes I see it all through the cloudâ?¦
Ah, the apple trees, And the hive of bees, Where we once got stung, Summers at Bordeau: Rowing at bateau, Where the willow hung, Just a dream ago, When the World Was Young
