It isn't by chance I happen to be A boulevardier, the toast of Paris For over the noise, the talk and the smoke I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a joke I walk in a room, a party or ball Come sit over here, somebody will call A drink for monsieur, a drink for us all But how many times I stop and recall Ah, the apple trees Blossoms in the breeze That we walked among Lying in the hay Games we used to play While the rounds were sung Only yesterday, when the world was young Wherever I go, they mention my name And that in itself, is some sort of fame Come by for a drink, we're having a game Wherever I go, I'm glad that I came The talk is quite gay, the company's fine There's laughter and lights, and glamour and wine And beautiful girls and some of them mine But often my eyes see a different shine Ah, the apple trees Sunlit memories Where the hammock swung On our backs, we'd lie Looking at the sky 'Til the stars were strung Only last July when the world was young

Girls, don't forget your pearls And all of your horses As you make your way across the pond Girls, don't forget your curls And all of your corsets Memorize them in a little song Shake it up, throw your hands up and get loose Cut a rug, lean into the fuckin' youth Choreo, we just want the fuckin' truth (Told by the frightened) Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? No, it's only the beginnin' If we hold on to hope, we'll have our happy ending When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' Boys, don't forget your toys And take all of your money If you find you're in a foreign land Boys, don't make too much noise And don't try to be funny Other people may not understand Shake it up, throw your hands up and get loose Cut a rug, lean into the fuckin' youth Choreo, we just want the fuckin' truth (Told by the frightened) Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? No, it's only the beginnin' If we hold on to hope, we'll have our happy endin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' (And we'll do it again) Oh my god, dizzy from lovin' you (and we'll do it again) Oh my god, dizzy from lovin' you (we'll do it again) Did it from, did it from lovin' you (we'll do it again) In a world at war Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' And we'll do it again And we'll do it again

Well, I walked out this evening Stood out front of my house To see the daylight leaving My eyes pointed south I felt like I was dreaming And never seen a sky so red Gave me the strangest feeling When a voice inside me said All my life I've been chasing setting suns See me running up the hill when the evening comes They get further away the faster that I run I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns I walked down to the ocean And sat on the cold hard stones Saw the seabirds fishing and the sunlight glistening Down on my English home Thought back to all the things I've seen The people I know and the places I've been The city skylines and the fields of green It's a wonder I made it home All my life I've been chasing setting suns See me running up the hill when the evening comes They get further away the faster that I run I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns Well, all my life I've been chasing setting suns See me running up the hill when the evening comes They get further away the faster that I run I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
