 La vie est belle,

 Pourquoi--

 Emile:
 La vie est gai,
 Dites-moi
 Pourquoi,
 Chere Mad'moiselle,
 Est-ce que
 Parce que
 Vous m'aimez?

 Nellie:
 Born on the opposite sides of the sea,
 We are as diff'rent as people can be.

 Emile:
 It's true

 Nellie:
 And yet you want to marry me.

 Emile:
 I do!

 Nellie:
 I've known a few short weeks and yet
 Somehow you made my heart forget
 All other men I have ever met of view, but you...

 Emile:
 Some enchanted evening
 When you find your true love,
 When you feel her call you
 Across a crowded room,
 Then fly to her side,
 And make her your own
 For all through your life you
 May dream all alone.

 Nellie:
 Once you have found her,
 Never let her go.

 Emile:
 Once you have found her,
 Never let her go
