Cherie 1921

Far away in France
there lives a sweet coquette
She's a little dancing rascal
you can bet;
She does ev'ry dance
that we do over here,
And in ev'ry dance
some fellow whispers in my ear:

Cherie, Cherie
You're sweet, just as sweet as can be;
Cherie to me,
you're fair as the rare "fleurdelis!"
Dance on with anyone you see
But save your kisses all for me,
Cherie, Baby
You're part of my heart, Ma Cherie.

Cherie, Cherie
You're sweet, just as sweet as can be;
Cherie to me,
you're fair as the rare "fleurdelis!"
Dance on with anyone you see
But save your kisses all for me,
Cherie, Baby
You're part of my heart, Ma Cherie.

If you saw her once
I know you'd understand,
why the fellows long to claim her
heart and hand;
But she only smiles
and turns her head away,
Still they keep on courting her
and you will hear them say:

Cherie, Cherie
You're sweet, just as sweet as can be;
Cherie to me,
you're fair as the rare "fleurdelis!"
Dance on with anyone you see
But save your kisses all for me,
Cherie, Baby
You're part of my heart, Ma Cherie.

Cherie, Cherie
You're sweet, just as sweet as can be;
Cherie to me,
you're fair as the rare "fleurdelis!"
Dance on with anyone you see
But save your kisses all for me,
Cherie, Baby
You're part of my heart, Ma Cherie.
