[Van Vuyt:]
Had you and I met in those far
distant days that are past,
I must have been to your madd'ning charms
a victim at last.
But life is a diff'rent thing today;
when wooing I start,
There must either be love--
yes, or nothing at all, in my heart.
Little Liqueurs, leave me alone,
I've got a Little Liqueur of my own,
Buoyant and bright, sparkling and light,
Pure as the moon-beams that flicker at night!
Little Liqueurs, cannot you see
There is another that fascinates me?
Those are the sips none can eclipse,
My Little Liqueur.
That you are attractive,
I quite candidly must confess,
Your colour so brilliant
and bewild'ring, more or less.
Time was when I must have worshipp'd
day and night at your shrine,
Will you not understand?
Will you sneer at this coldness of mine?
Little Liqueurs, leave me alone,
I've got a Little Liqueur of my own,
Buoyant and bright, sparkling and light,
Pure as the moon-beams that flicker at night!
Little Liqueurs, cannot you see
There is another that fascinates me?
Those are the sips none can eclipse,
My Little Liqueur.
[Girls:]
Little Liqueur, leave me alone,
I've a Liqueur of my own, my own,
Sparkling and bright,
[Van Vuyt:]
Little Liqueurs, cannot you see
There is another that fascinates me?
Those are the sips none can eclipse,
My Little Liqueur.
