When The World Was Young

When The World Was Young - Peggy Lee (佩吉·李)

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 at and 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 laugh a little too loud

My head may be aching bit it's unbowed

And sometimes I see it all through a cloud

Ah the apple tree

And the hive of bees

Where we once got stung

Summers at Bordeaux

Rowing the bateau

Where the willow hung

Just a dream ago

When the world was young
