Lyrics
Gaston, the song, our song, has to be discarded
Our song? Why, Baron, our song, which has
Always scored such a big hit with the ladies?
Too big a hit. That's why it has to stop
Mmm. Have you found a replacement?
I found something this morning. The name is "By Candlelight
" I consider it most appropriate. Now, pay attention
(Sung)
When I want to try out the song on a lady, whoever it may
Be at the time, then you wait in the anteroom as usual
Then, when you hear the word "candlelight" for the third
Time, you turn out all the lights in this room. Understand?
Completely, Baron
Hmm. To be on the safe side, let's have a little
Rehearsal right now. I'll sing it, and when "candlelight"
Is repeated for the third time, you say "lights out
" So I know you've got the idea. Now, listen carefully
(Sung)
By candlelight
So often at night
I dream of you
Close to my heart
By candlelight
(Spoken)
Gaston, what's the matter?
Yes, Baron?
There it was again
What was?
The "candlelight"
Oh, I beg your pardon
Where are your thoughts?
In the dark
Let's continue
(Sung)
Life seems such perfect bliss
And so sweet every kiss
I know that love like this
Couldn't be true
And yet so real it seems
That I feel fortune beams
On my candlelight
Lights out!
Dreams of you
(Spoken)
I think it would be best if you sang it once through yourself
But then you'll have to watch for the "candlelight" part, Baron
I'll watch for it
By candlelight
So often at night
I dream of you
Close to my heart
By candlelight
Out!
Why, no, Baron, we only had "candlelight"
Twice. You really must pay attention
Ha ha ha ha!
By candlelight
The world looks so bright
That I swear we never more shall part
Life seems such perfect bliss
And so sweet every kiss
I know that love like this
Couldn't be true
And yet so real it seems
That I feel fortune beams
On my candlelight
Dreams of you
