See'est si bon

Lovers say that in France

When they thrill to romance

It means that it's so good



See'est Si Bon

So I say to you

Like the French people do

Because it's oh so good.

Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,

Leads to only one thought

And the thought is this, dear!



See'est Si Bon

Nothing else can replace

Just your slyest embrace

And if you only would

Be my own for the rest of my days

I will whisper this phrase

My darling, my darling

See'est si bon!
