Lyrics

Alvin:
Good evening mademoiselle.
My name is Alvin and I'm all alone in your beautiful city.
How about showing me around?
You don't parler English?
Well, I don't parler much French either, but I'll try my best.

Bonsoir, bonsoir, mademoiselle, bonsoir
I wish I could speak French
Petit amour a voulez vous toujours
I wish I could speak French

A kiss for moi would be so ooh, ooh-la-la!
I wish, I wish I could speak French
Promenade avec moi, avec moi, ce soir
Like to meet your mama and your papa

Bonsoir, bonsoir, mademoiselle, bonsoir
I, I wish I could speak French

Me Alvin, you pretty girl, understand?
You don't understand, huh?
Too bad.

Promenade avec moi, ce soir
Like to meet your, your mama and your papa
Bonsoir, bonsoir, mademoiselle, bonsoir
I wish, I wish I could speak French

You mean you will go out with me?!
Oui? Oui? Wow!
