When The World Was Young

When The World Was Young - Julie London (朱莉·倫敦)

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

Ah the apple trees

Blossoms in the breeze

That we walked among

Lying in the hay

Games we used to play

While the rounds were sung

Only yesterday 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

Sunlight memories

Where the hammock swung

On our backs we'd lie

Looking at the sky

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
