Lyrics
1. Far away in France there lives a sweet coquette
She’s a little dancing rascal you can bet
She does every dance that we do over here
And in every dance some fellow whispers in her ear
Chorus
“Cherie, Cherie
You’re sweet, just as sweet as can be
Cherie, to me
You’re fair as the rare “fleur-de-lis”
Dance on with anyone you see
But save your kisses all for me
Cherie Baby!
You’re part of my heart, Ma Cherie”
2. 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
