Mon Cheri [German translation]

Well, I was out the other evening on a walk

When I decided to take myself

A little stroll through the park

I was young and I was feeling no pain

Well, I was a happy man

Not a care in this world

A real up and comer

With an eye for the girls

When I saw something

That just about set

My young heart aflame

Well, I introduced myself

And I said: "Nice night for a walk"

But I could not understand a thing

She said when she talked

And I said: "Honey, let's get something

Straight between you and me!"

Well, that's when she sat herself

Down on the park bench

Her skirt rolled up

And I could see: She was French!

And my heart said:

'Toujours l'amour, avec mon amour'

My my Mon Cheri

Baby I sure would be

Delighted in your company

Anytime that is good for you

Would be convenient with me

Well, I said: 'My my my Mon Cheri'

[Instrumental]

My my Mon Cheri

Baby I sure would be

Delighted in your company

Anytime that is good for you

Would be convenient with me

Well, I said: 'My my my Mon Cheri'

I'm still a happy man

No tale I won't tell

And I'm still in love

With my sweet mademoiselle

She gives such amour

To the fine young sweet Pierre

We're in love together

Hope it'll always be

My sweet darling Cheri and me

Because together

We generate such savoir faire

My my Mon Cheri

Oh baby I sure would be

Delighted with your company

Anytime that is good for you

Would be convenient with me

Hey, hey, my my my Mon Cheri

I said, I said, I said

My my my Mon Cheri
