AND MIMI
Jimmy Kennedy & Nat Simon

Dick Haymes


Verse:
Sitting at a table on the corner - the lights of Paris bright all around -
Listen to him while he tells his story, how he lost the only love he ever found.

Chorus:
On the Rue de la Paix there was once a cabaret -
   And Mimi -
As the night went along there was suddenly a song -
   And Mimi

All the world seemed to say that they loved the cabaret -
   And Mimi - 
But I knew that when she'd see me 
   Mimi sang for me alone.

Came an apache with a passion
   For dancing with the one I adore.
Taught her to dance in his fashion,
   And for me she's singing no more -

On the Rue de la Paix there was once a cabaret -
   And Mimi - 
Now I'm sitting sad and dreamy,
   Just for Mimi and her song.
