Allez-vous-en


(Cole Porter, Chappell & Co./Buxton Hill ASCAP)

Since the moment when first
Like a rocket you burst
In my hitherto tranquil skies
I am startled to find
I am not color blind
When I view the blue of your eyes

Therefore please do not take me to task
If the following favor I ask

Allez-vous-en, allez-vous-en, monsieur
Allez-vous-en, go away
Allez-vous-en, allez-vous-en, monsieur
I have no time for you today
Do be a dear, just disappear, monsieur
Bid me farewell, do do do
Allez-vous-en, please go away, monsieur
Or I may go away with you

Therefore please do not take me to task
If the following favor I ask

Allez-vous-en, allez-vous-en, monsieur
Allez-vous-en, go away
Allez-vous-en, allez-vous-en, monsieur
I have no time for you today
Do be a dear, just disappear, monsieur
Bid me farewell, do do do
Allez-vous-en, please go away, monsieur

Or I may go away with you
