The Night They Invented Champagne (From "Gigi")

Gigi: What time tomorrow will we get there?
Can I watch you play roulette?
May I stay up late for supper?
Is it awfully awfully upper?
Mamita: Gigi!
You’ll drive us wild!
Stop!
You silly child!
Gigi: Is everybody celebrated
full of sin and dissipated?
Is it hot enough to blister?
Will I be your little sister?
Mamita: Gigi!
You are absurd!
Now not another word!
Gigi!
Gaston: Let her gush and jabber
Let her be enthused
I cannot remember
when I have been more amused
Mamita: Stop it!
Gigi: The night they invented champagne
It’s plain as it can be They thought of you and me The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
that all we’d want to do Is fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight
That since the world began
no woman or a man
has ever been as happy as we are tonight!
Gaston: The night they invented champagne (pop)
G & G: It’s plain as it can be They thought of you and me The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
that all we’d want to do Is fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight (pop)
That since the world began
no woman or a man
has ever been as happy as we are tonight!
