1957 Broadway Shinbone Alley the Musical - Toujours Gai Lyrics
The song is written by George Kleinsinger and Joe Darion.
My youth I shall never forget But there's nothing I really regret The years I have poured down the drain Have sparkled like gold in champagne
It's cheerio my dearrio Prance and pirouette It's cheerio my dearrio There's a life in me yet
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai I sing all my troubles away
I don't care to cry with a king But with any old beggar I'll sing I'll dance in the sun or the shade To any old tune that is played
I'll sing 'neath a bleary-eyed moon A rowdy and rollicking tune But no time for sleeping have I I'll sleep long enough when I die
It's cheerio my dearrio Prance and pirouette It's cheerio my dearrio There's a life in me yet
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
I'll sing away my troubles They'll vanish like bubbles I'll sing all my troubles away Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai (Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai)
