lyrics

C’était le Thursdee qu’elle m’a demandé
“Toujours you dress this shabby way
Comme ça monsieur?
And yet, pourquoi monsieur
Que je t’aime all the same?”

On Jeudi she declined his love.
By Friday, though, she’d had enough
Of standing off
For although she’d scoff
She let him let her let him have her way

When La Lune illuminait nos yeux
On devient tout déchaîné
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away

Captivé. Fasciné. Enthrall-é surtout
Entrance-é. Spellbind-é. Hypnotizé by you
Tu me dazzle, tu me wow
Tu fuzzy up my thoughts somehow
Against all better jugement, again
Je have to have you now

When la lune illuminait nos yeux
Est toujours enchanté
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away

Arrivé le Saturdee, the world is all topsee-turvee
Alas, “La vie en roses”? Non non!
Pour moi to love you only leaves me desolé
Can’t live with you, non plus without
J’adore your smile yet my heart doubts
We’ll last the week
Mais pour one more night, don’t speak

When La Lune illuminait nos yeux
On est discombobulé
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away

Le Dimanche, la demise
‘Neath sodden, sulky, Sunday skies
Le weekend, on dit “Au revoir”
Et la semaine… quotidian
Le Mondee et la Tuesday
Le Mercredi old news day
To gaze, encore, once more into your eyes

When La Lune illuminait nos yeux
On est bien mesmerizé
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away
