Lyrics
- If you would go En Tour
Seeking a new Amour
Then you are more than sure
To find in me your answer
If you’re a bit blase
Whiling the time away
Then I must suggest you come with me today
Chorus
Promenading on the Riviera
Comarading on the Riviera
You’ll find them there sweet maidens fair
So chicie and spic never a care
Salutations on the Riviera
Ev’ry nation’s on the Riviera
Where they all play turning the night into day
Oh! the Riviera by the Sea
- If you would like to know
The vogue of a new chapeau
Here is a fashion show
The world must pattern after
Ev’ryone’s debonair, ever a bit of care
It’s the playground of the world you will declare
