Joli Girl

Aw, we walked the streets of Greenwich Village
Holdin' hands like school kids in the summer August sun
Smilin' at the passing strangers on their way
And wishin' the end would never come
And a flower lady sold me one red rose to give you
For your chestnut hair, just to make it shine
And I gently held you to me, whispered
Joli girl, Joli girl, will you be mine

Then we stopped in to the fruit stand on the corner
For some coconut champagne
And a taxi driver cussed us, 'cause a blind man got his tip
And tapped a "thank you" with his cane
And we ducked out of the rain into this tiny little shop
That traded books and fluffy hats for rings and beads
And I gently held you to me, whispered
Joli girl, Joli girl, you're all I need

Aw, Joli girl, please don't ask me how long I'll be stayin'
You'll just end a simple dream we both can share
Tomorrow is another day, I'll be far so far away
Oh Joli girl, I may be anywhere
So let's spread our blankets in the park and hold each other close
The dark is coming on and soon we'll have to go
But always remember
Joli girl, oh Joli girl, I love you so

So let's spread our blanket in the park and hold each other close
The dark is coming on and soon we'll have to go
But always remember
Joli girl, oh Joli girl, I love you so
But always remember
Joli girl, Joli girl, I love you so
