BON JOUR
From the film "The Vagabond King" (1956)
(Rudolf Friml / Johnny Burke)

Oreste Kirkop (Film Soundtrack) - 1956



Bon jour, bon jour
It's a good good day and it's free
Bon jour, bon jour
It's a day for amour, mon ami

It's a day you can find the kind of riches
That you just can't afford unless you're poor
So, brush up the patches on your britches
It's a bon, bon, bon, bon jour

(Bon jour, bon jour)
(It's a good good day and it's free)
Bon jour, bon jour
It's a day for amour, mon ami

It's a day you can find the kind of riches
That you just can't afford unless you're poor
So, brush up the patches on your britches
It's a bon, bon, bon, bon jour

The sun's so bright it must have been
Polished with a chammy skin
????? ??? the world is in today
The violets and ivy grows
Dancing with the marigolds
Ooh-la-la, to use an old cliché
The wind is feeling young and spry
Whistling as it passes by
I for one am glad that I was born
Down the road and up the hill
Here a joy and there a thrill
Dawn camp up with something great this morn
Like I said before, I'm glad that I was born

Bon jour (Bon jour)
It's a good, good day and it's free
Bon jour (Bon jour, bon jour, bon jour)
It's a day for amour, mon ami (Bon jour, bon jour)

It's a day you can pack and leave and go where
No one goes who's ???? ???? is secure
So we're all men going to nowhere
With a bon, bon, bon, BON JOUR!
