AW WE WALKED
THE STREETS OF
GREENWICH VILLAGE
HOLDING HANDS
LIKE SCHOOL KIDS IN
A SUMMER AUGUST SUN
SMILING AT
THE PASSING STRANGERS
ON THEIR WAY
AND WISHING
THE END
WOULD NEVER COME
THEN A FLOWER LADY
SOLD ME ONE RED ROSE
TO GIVE YOU
FOR YOUR
CHESTNUT HAIR
JUST TO MAKE IT SHINE
THEN I HELD IT
CLOSE TO ME
AND I WHISPERED
JOLI GIRL
WILL YOU BE MINE
THEN WE STEPPED UP TO
THE FRUIT STAND
ON THE CORNER
FOR SOME COCONUT
CHAMPAGNE
AND A TAXI DRIVER
CUSSED US
'CAUSE A BLIND MAN
GOT HIS TIP
AND TAPPED THANK YOU
WITH HIS CANE
AND WE DUCKED OUT OF
THE RAIN
INTO A DUSTY
LITTLE SHOP
THAT TRADED BOOKS
AND FLUFFY HATS
RINGS AND BEADS
THEN I HELD YOU
CLOSE TO ME
AND I WHISPERED
JOLI GIRL
YOU'RE ALL I NEED
AW JOLI GIRL
PLEASE DON'T ASK ME
HOW LONG
I'LL BE STAYING
YOU'LL JUST END
THE SIMPLE DREAMS
THAT WE COULD SHARE
TOMORROW IS JUST
ANOTHER DAY
I MAY BE FAR AWAY
JOLI GIRL
I MIGHT BE ANYWHERE
SO LET'S SPREAD
OUR BLANKET
IN THE PARK
AND HOLD EACH OTHER
CLOSE
THE NIGHT IS COMING ON
AND SOON WE'LL HAVE
TO GO
BUT REMEMBER JOLI GIRL
OH REMEMBER
JOLI GIRL
I LOVE YOU SO
