When The World Was Young

When The World Was Young - Julie London (朱莉·倫敦)/Philippe Gerald Block/Johnny Mercer/Angele Vannier

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 'Paree'

There's no other person I'd rather be

I like what I do I like what I see

But where is the schoolgirl

That used to be me

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

Sunlight memories

Where the hammock swung

On our backs we'd lie;

Looking at the shy

Till the stars were strung

Only last July

When the world was young

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
