The Boule Miche 1908

Through the Quartier Latin in Paris,
runs the Boulevard known as Michel;
know it once know it well,
from its spell you will struggle
in vain to be free,
your thoughts ever back to it fly,
and 'twere idle to hold them in leash,
for the dearest street under the sky,
is the old Boule Miche...

Bonjour Mimi
come dine with me
Henri and George and Antoinette
but first in the Café Pantheon
for one petit verre of anisette,
'twas thus it went in long hours spent,
happy those days for ever done,
when we dreamed of art
on the gay Boule Miche
and we all were twenty one!"

Bonjour Mimi
come dine with me
Henri and George and Antoinette
but first in the Café Pantheon
for one petit verre of anisette,
'twas thus it went in long hours spent,
happy those days for ever done,
when we dreamed of art
on the gay Boule Miche
and we all were twenty one!"

Ev'ry girl you may happen to see,
on that Boulevard known as Michel
all your praise will compel,
she's a belle,
who is more than entrancingly sweet,
it's comrades have ne'er welcomed yet,
the cad or the loud nouveau riche,
for 'tis only good fellows are met,
at the old Boule Miche

Bonjour Mimi
come dine with me
Henri and George and Antoinette
but first in the Café Pantheon
for one petit verre of anisette,
'twas thus it went in long hours spent,
happy those days for ever done,
when we dreamed of art
on the gay Boule Miche
and we all were twenty one!"

Bonjour Mimi

but first in the Café Pantheon
for one petit verre of anisette,
'twas thus it went in long hours spent,
happy those days for ever done,
when we dreamed of art

and we all were twenty one!"
