Sheet music version:

Chorus:

The way you speak
With tongue in cheek,
All I can say:
Is "Mon amí,
May we, may we
Continué?"
When you are near,
I always fear
You'll go away.
If this is real,
Please say that we'll
Continué.
For when you're near,
I love to hear
Your tender sigh;
It's evident
That you're content,
And so am I.
Let's never miss
Our good-night kiss
And grow blasé;
This ecstasy
May we, may we
Continué?

Movie out-take version:

Chorus:

The way you speak
With tongue in cheek,
All I can say:
Is "Mon amí,
May we, may we
Continué?"
When you are near,
I always fear
You'll go away.
If this is real,
Please say that we'll
Continué.
Close to my ear
I love to hear
Your tender sigh;
It's evident
That you're content,
And I know why;
Ah, so am I.
Let's never miss
Our good-night kiss
And grow blasé;
This ecstasy
May we, may we
Continué?
S'il vous plaît,
Continué.
