IF YOU'RE EVER NEAR PARIS ONE OCTOBER DAY

IT WILL ALWAYS WELCOME YOU.

CHORUS:
BOISSY SANS AVOIR - JUST ME AND MY GUITAR
BOISSY SANS AVOIR - TONIGHT YOU MAKE ME A STAR!

SOME CLASSIC OLD CARS AND A FEW WEEKEND STARS
WILL WELCOME YOU AT BSA
A CIGAR BOX GUITAR, SOME WINE AT THE BAR
THE MOOD WILL SOON BLOW YOU AWAY.

LES TRIPLETTES DE BONNEVILLE WILL WELCOME YOU HERE
THEY'LL TRY TO MAKE YOUR DAY
FORGET ALL YOUR CARES, BUY SOME OF THEIR WARES
AT FESTIVAL BSA.

CHORUS

THE MUSIC AND WINE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL FINE
AT FESTIVAL BSA
YOU CAN DANCE AND ROCK, DON'T LOOK AT THE CLOCK
YOUR CARES WILL FLY AWAY

CHORUS

IF YOU'RE EVER NEAR PARIS ONE OCTOBER DAY
HEAD DOWN ROUTE FORTY TWO
TO A LITTLE OLD TOWN THAT HAS SUCH A BIG HEART
IT WILL ALWAYS WELCOME YOU.

BOISSY SANS AVOIR
JUSTE MOI ET MA GUITARE
BOISSY SANS AVOIR
CE SOIR, VOUS ME FAITES UNE ETOILE !
