The Night Is Young Lyrics

Imperial gin, what a delectable tipple

Irredeemable whisky, give me a triple

A barrel of cider and ale by the cask

I'm almost a widow in case you should ask

Chambred wine goes down fine

When reclining upon a chaise longue

Vermouth is of use when you feel aloof

And you want to recapture your dwindling youth

First a scimitar and lime, one sip at a time

Cast aside your misgiving

Because the night is young

And there's plenty of rum

And life after all is for living...

Dance with me again

Here's to the end of a golden era!

Though we spend long years apart

I still know it by heart, with no rehearsal

All that I have learned, it never made me happy

So let's forget for a while

Swap your tears for a smile

'till the final curtain call... I can't count all the letters

I desperately wanted to write you

Put the ink on the page, but that's where it stayed

The minutes became hours, the hours were days

The days were long, the years unkind

Though I don't wish to seem unforgiving

Because the night is young

And there's plenty of rum

And life after all is for living...

Dance with me again

Here's to the end of a golden era!

Though we spend long years apart

I still know it by heart, with no rehearsal

All that I have learned, it never made me happy

So let's forget for a while

Swap your tears for a smile

'till the final curtain call...

Do you remember, O my lover !

When I first kissed you in the summertime

By November, in the winter,

You had taken leave of me.
