Lyrics

French-sounding guy Bon soir mes amis Welcome to the Cafe le Cabotin Now we come down to this island in the sun And it ain't been easy trying to get a day's work done But tonight's the night we're gonna have ourselves some fun We're gonna have some fun. We're gonna go downtown to the Cafe le Cabotin Where the baron is waitin' to welcome the rock and roll band And if get a little crazy, the baron will understand He'll understand. Night and day, night and day We will burn our boats and sail away Ridin' high, ridin' high We will leave our mark and say goodbye. Now the place is jumping, the party has just arrived Sing away the blues put the light back in your eyes Yes on a night like this it's good to be alive Just to feel alive. Night and day, night and day We will burn our boats and sail away Ridin' high, ridin' high We will leave our mark and say goodbye. But the daylight comes, it's time to let it be Yes the sun is up and shining on the sea It was one more night and one more memory Just a memory. Night and day, night and day We will burn our boats and sail away Ridin' high, ridin' high We will leave our mark and say goodbye.
