Bijou

My petite (Bijou) Bi- (Bijou) jou
They say you're more precious than anything known

My petite (Bijou) Bi- (Bijou) jou
They say you're his jewel and you're his own

My petite (diamonds) Bi- (rubies) jou
Who cares, they may sparkle but not around you

My petite (Bijou) Bi- (Bijou) jou
Those words they mean nothing 'til she found you

I really adore you (Bijou)
You're my treasure on earth (Hear me)

True, a treasure and a joy what a lovely gem
What pretty little gem but she loves only him
Unruly and truly true to him

I've wasted many 'o hours enduringly (Bijou Bijou)
They say you're more precious than anything known)
Wondering if it could be
I still carry a torch for you (My petite (Bijou) Bi-
(Bijou) jou, they say you're his jewel and your his own)
Bijou

So truly and true well my Bijou I was trance- (Bijou hear
Me) (Oh well and her sparkle is brighter than diamonds alone)
Dwee Bijou, Mon Cheri (Bijou)
In Istanbul when we met she was dancing in a small cafe (Bijou Bijou)
The ledo by the sea, (Bijou Bijou)
And I had hired a guy to lead me (Bijou Bijou)
And show the sights to me (Awe my petite bijou)
Then he lead me right away (Bijou Bijou)
Straight to that small cafe, (Bijou Bijou)
Lights were lowered for her dance, (Bijou Bijou)
Then she appeared stealing my heart
Away with a glance (Awe my petite Bijou)

Awe Bijou, Bijou, Bijou, Bijou, Bijou
True my heart was spinning too
While she danced my very soul was made of flaming desire
I felt the fire
I could never love another love is blind
No peace I'd find
'Til I made bijou mine

So they met, a meeting neither one would soon forget
I remember when they met
Now they're one, and so together life has just begun
Now their life is beginning

(Hills and beaches) Now they're hanging
Around (They're living in proper New York)
Uptown (uptown) now I'm as happy to see as a man can be
'Cause my treasures here with me

My Bijou, my Bijou, my Bijou, my Bijou (Now they're one)
I love her, I love her so, I love her so
I love her yes I do (And so together life has just begun)

Bijou
What a pleasure
What a treasure
My petite Bijou
