Mademoiselle Monique

Lighten up, you lovers!
And have no time,
In your life
For the noisy natterings
Of niggling prigs,
Nor any naughty nuisance
Of vapid circumstance,
It's nearly Spring!
And all the world,
May hear me sing
To a precious Mademoiselle,
Of Paris...

"Monique! Monique!
Will you meet me on a bridge,
O'er the Seine,
While musette from a cafe,
On guitar and accordion plays,
Early in the evening,
Of a florid spring day,
When birds have gone to dreaming,
And love is first scheming
To open sleepy eyes,
Ma cher Mademoiselle,
Monique?"
