Bonjour, Mon Ami by Johnny Cashpoint
Took the Channel boomerang To Calais, northern France
To get cheap booze and cigarettes, I got a brief romance
At the hyper-marche to buy some duty free
The local checkout girl she smiled and sold herself to me
CHORUS: She said Bonjour mon Ami
I said Au Revoir Ma Cherie
C’est la Guerre, C’est La Vie
Doesn’t make much sense to me
Tried to make myself understood but I always found French so hard
Looked as if I’d got through, she smiled, then sold me a mobile top-up card
My ferry was leaving at half past five, had no time for her sang-froid
I tried once more, she looked confused and sold me a CD by Claude Francois
CHORUS x 3
Only 26 miles away but only 24 hours in the day
I wish that I could make her see - she could be my Amelie!
M’aidez, m’aidez, parlez-vous Francais?
Bonjour, Mon Ami

Bonjour, Mon Ani
Caravan Ray
Chorus:
I wanna travel the world
Go across the sea
I wanna see everything there is to see
I wanna make new friends wherever I go
And learn how they all say hello
Gonna catch a plane to Paris France
Wear a beret and do the can-can dance
When a gendarme comes to talk to me
I’ll say “Bonjour, mon ami”
I wanna go to Japan and Tokyo
I’m gonna sing karaoke in a kimono
Do origami at a sushi bar
And say to my friends “Konichiwa”
Chorus
Thailand I will go to next
For elephant rides and jungle treks
Have tom yum goong on Ko Phi Phi
And say to my friends “Sawasdee”
Next stop Indonesia
Bali, Java, Sumatra
Volcanos will erupt for me
When I say “Selamat pagi”
Chorus
Australia’s the next place I choose
To see the wallabies and kangaroos
And cockatoos I’ve heard are great
I’ll say to them “G’day mate”
Well, it’s a big wide world all full of fun
And it belongs to everyone
When I get back home to the USA
I’ll shout “Hi there world, Have a Nice Day!”
Konichiwa, Sawasdee
Bonjour, Selamat pagi
Gday mate just called to say
Hi there world, Have a Nice Day
