When the World Was Young |
| It isn’t by chance I happen to be a boulevardier, the toast of Paree |
| For over the noise, the talk and the smoke, I’m good for a laugh, |
| a drink or a joke |
| I walk in a room, a party of all, come sit over here, somebody will call |
| A drink for monsieur, a drink for us all, but how many times, I sat and recall |
| Are the apple trees, blossoms in the breeze that we walk among |
| Lying in the hay, games we used to play, while the rounds were sung |
| Only yesterday when the world was young |
| Wherever I go they mention my name, and that in itself is some sort of fame |
| Come by for a drink, we’re having a game, wherever I go, I’m glad that I came |
| The talk is quite gay, the company’s fine |
| There’s laughter and lights and glamour and wine |
| And beautiful girls and summer’s been mine, but often my eyes see a different |
| shine |
| Are the apple trees, sunlit memories, where the hammock swung |
| On our backs sweet lie, looking at the sky, till the stars were strung |
| Only last July when the world was young |
