Bon soir Mademoiselle

au revoir Mademoiselle

it's time for the parting

au revoir Mademoiselle

we loved not to wisely

but oh, we loved well

bon soir, au revoir,

au revoir Mademoiselle.



Here's to the summer

here's to the Seine

here's to the seasons

that won't come again

who knows where we're going

but oh, where we've been.

bon soir, au revoir,

au revoir Mademoiselle.



Bon soir Mademoiselle

au revoir Mademoiselle

it's time for the parting

au revoir Mademoiselle

we loved not to wisely

but oh, we loved well

bon soir, au revoir,

au revoir Mademoiselle.



Here's to the waiters

in every cafe

and here's to the girls

on the Champs-Elysees

I'll never forget

though I'm sailing away

bon soir, au revoir,

au revoir Mademoiselle.



Bon soir Mademoiselle

au revoir Mademoiselle

it's time for the parting

au revoir Mademoiselle

we loved not to wisely

but oh, we loved well

bon soir, au revoir,

au revoir Mademoiselle.

bon soir, au revoir,

au revoir Mademoiselle.
