Tonight for Sure Songtext
von Ruth Wallis

You don′t have to parlez-vous
To understand the story that I'm telling you
There was a mademoiselle in gay Paris
For years and years she hadn′t said oui-oui
When she met a handsome stevedore
She thought, "What in the world am I saving it for?"

I want a little amour toujours
Baby, it's gotta be tonight for sure
Tonight, tonight by candle shine
All that's yours is gonna be mine

She was a tomato looking for a squeeze
No one had ever filled up her diaries
She said, "Chéri, I′ve waited long
Hope it′s not too late for you to do me wrong"

I want a little amour toujours
Baby, it's gotta be tonight for sure
Tonight, tonight at eight o′clock
If you've got the key, it′ll fit the lock


I had a very handsome boyfriend once
So big and so strong, but such a dunce
He treated me fair, but he was a square
He knew when, but he didn't know where

I want a little amour toujours
Baby, it′s gotta be tonight for sure
Tonight, tonight by half past nine
You'll be putting in some overtime

Most ladies like men who are big and tall
But I don't mind if you′re short and small
I never measure ounce for ounce
After all, honey, it′s the punch that counts

I want a little amour toujours
Baby, it's gotta be tonight for sure
Tonight, tonight by candle glow
My dear, I know your love will grow

I always used to dream of Charles Boyer
I hope he′d drop in on me someday
Although you have no claim to fame
They tell me with the lights off it's all the same


I want a little amour toujours
Baby, it′s gotta be tonight for sure
We'll be wed, you′ll share my bread
And mine'll be thine
And thine'll be mine
All of the time
