When the World Was Young - Peggy Lee

When the World Was Young LRC歌词

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 me 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 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 cloud 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
