I Know You

I recognize your majesty Of course you do you silly goose I am the queen, of course you knew My profile is on every Franc and every sou I know who you are I recognize your majesty from days gone by The small chateau where I Grew up? Perhaps Versailles? That tawdry inn, in the Pigale, I cannot lie I know who you are But why dredge up old memories? Times you got swimmingly through You had preferred that I had Never breathed a word i know you I know you Comе closer, dear It's coming back a tiny trace I must admit, I nеver quite forget a face Though every feature's in a Slightly different place i know who you are I vaguely see you dancing with a beefy man You're thinking of the Ballets Russes Where I began a pas de deux But with a rose, and with a fan I know who you are But why poke through your chifforobe? One never knows what one finds Though in the end you may Dig up a useful friend two like minds I know you You've quite a knack for Bringing back old memories To help you, dear To see the forest for the trees Now I recall you dressed in tights On a trapeze? I know who you are Another time, another place and way back when So many years, so many nights So many men Remind me, dear one Did I ever like you then? I know who you are What a joy to see you again Straight from the "how do you do" To in the end discovering a long-lost friend I know you I know you
