I was lost in France
In the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in France
And the day was just beginning
As I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can't explain
I was lost in France in love

I was lost in France
In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
When I looked up he was standing there
And I knew I shouldn't, but I didn't care
I was lost in France in love

Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing

I was lost in France
And the vines were overflowing
I was lost in France
And a million stars were glowing
And I looked round for a telephone
To say, "Baby, I won't be home"
I was lost in France in love

Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing

(Instrumental Break)

And I looked round for a telephone
To say, "Baby, I won't be home"
I was lost in France in love

Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
Ooh-la-la-la I'm dancing
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la dance
