Monique (Live At The Sporting Club, Monte Carlo/1958)

And now, uh, one good tune deserves another

Wish I hadn't said that, folks

Somebody once said it, and I will not use it anymore

But seriously, in this film we saw tonight

Kings Go Forth, there's a lovely melody that Mr

Bernstein wrote for the score, and it

Has had, has had lyrics written to it

It was...

Has now been completed as a, as a popular song

It is called A Theme from Kings Go Forth, or subtitle, Monique

We'd like to do it for you now

It's brand new

When they see Monique, I know they'll understand

Monique, Monique

I've hungered so for this

Monique, Monique

The magic of your kiss

Monique, Monique

Was Paris always there?

Monique, Monique

I didn't know or care

But why am I dancing?

My friends may well demand

I'll tell them Monique, Monique held my hand

Monique, Monique

I'm sure they'll understand

Monique, Monique

Was Paris always there?

Monique, Monique

I didn't know or care

But why am I dancing?

My friends may well demand

I'll tell them Monique, Monique held my hand

And when they see Monique

I'm sure they'll understand
