| Excusez-moi, my pretty Mademoiselle
|
| You are a French girl it’s easy to tell
|
| Me, I don’t smoke not even a French cigarette
|
| But I love my pomme de terre
|
| And always croquette
|
| I am from Angleterre and you are from France
|
| And you will honour me by having a dance
|
| Straight away!
|
| I’m getting ready for a new sensation
|
| Never kissed them in another nation
|
| Internationally I’m in clover
|
| I was a native on the boat ride over
|
| Straight away!
|
| I’m getting ready for my new vocation
|
| I am the man who will unite the nations
|
| Ooh la la/how you say it/ca va-this is love
|
| La la la la la la la language of love
|
| La la la la la la la language of love
|
| La la la la la la la language of love
|
| We’ve been together now for more than a day
|
| And I am waiting to hear what you say
|
| Come on, come on, I think you’re telling me lies
|
| You are Italian, I can tell by your eyes
|
| I love Chianti and I hope you’ll agree
|
| That Zefferelli makes the movies for me
|
| Chorus Repeated
|
| Instrumental
|
| I try my French, Latin, Spanish and Greek
|
| This is the language of love that I speak
|
| I never know if they’re from Paris or Rome
|
| We stop the talking when I’m walking them home
|
| One little kiss and then heavens above
|
| This is the universal language of love
|
| Straight away!
|
| Are you ready for a new sensation
|
| I’m gonna kiss a girl from every nation
|
| (Rest of chorus as before)
|
| This is love-the language of love |
