The Champs-Elysées

(Joe Dassin/Michael Deighan/Michael Wilshaw)



I was walking down a street today and I saw a girl along the way

I asked to where she's going and she said "Come with me"

She took me down this avenue, where we met some friends she knew

And there we start and stopped awhile and passed the time away



Down the Champs-Élysées, down the Champs-Élysées

Friday night, Saturday, any night or any day

You'll find what you're looking for on the Champs-Élysées



Sitting in the small café, we heard the street musician play

Some waltzes on his accordeon all night long

He's playing sound wheezy but the melody was so easy

Now we all got up and join the man, we sang this song



Down the Champs-Élysées, down the Champs-Élysées

Friday night, Saturday, any night or any day

You'll find what you're looking for on the Champs-Élysées



Now the birds are cheeping and we all feel kinda sleepy

The morning sun has risen and the moon has gone

But still the feeling lingers and still I hear the singers

As I walked along the avenue and sing this song



Down the Champs-Élysées, down the Champs-Élysées

Friday night, Saturday, any night or any day

You'll find what you're looking for on the Champs-Élysées

Down the Champs-Élysées, down the Champs-Élysées

Friday night, Saturday, any night or any day

You'll find what you're looking for on the Champs-Élysées
