Mon Cheri

(album: Open All Night - 1988)

Well I was out the other evening
on a walk when I decided to
take myself a little stroll through the park
I was young and I was feeling no pain
well I was a happy man not a care in this world
a real up and comer with an eye for the girls
when I saw something that just about set
my young heart a flame
well I introduced myself and I said nice night for a walk
but I couldn't understand a thing she said when she talked
and I said honey, let's get something straight between you and me
well that's when she settled down on the park bench
her skirt rolled and I could see she was French
and my heart said toujours l'amour, avec mon amour

My my mon cheri
baby I sure would be delighted in your company
anytime that is good for you
would be convenient with me
well I say my my my mon cheri

My my mon cheri
baby I sure would be delighted in your company
anytime that is good for you
would be convenient with me
well my my my mon cheri

I'm still a happy man
and I'm still in love with my sweet mademmoiselle
she feels such amour for a fine young sweet Pierre
we're in love together hope it'll always be
my sweet darling cheri and me
because together we generate such savoir faire

my my mon cheri
baby I should would be delighted in your company
anytime that is good for you
would be convenient with me
my my my mon cheri
I said, I said, I said mon cheri
