Way down in the south of France All the ladies love to dance Kick their heels up in the air Snap their fingers for romance While the gentlemen compare Blonde or black or auburn hair Check the motion and the style Oh you know they take their while Hey to make the motion more complete Yeah to make it more a treat Club d'Jour is where to go Come on down and see the show When the rhythm's really right You can burn it down tonight When the singing's really fine Sweet as Spanish sherry wine When the club can't contain the beat It just rolls out in the street Spills on down the avenue Bringing dancers to their feet When it's good as it can be It gets better, wait and see Oh these folks don't ever sleep Till they're passed out in the street Way down in the south of France All the ladies love to dance Clap their hands and walk on air Yeah the feeling's really there Won't you take a little taste Raise it to your charming face? When the rhythm's really right You can burn it down tonight When the singing's really fine Sweet as Spanish sherry wine Go on take a chance The ladies do love to dance
