[Intro]
[Bbm7] [Ab7] [Bbaug] [Ebmaj7]

[Bbm7]Mmm, c'est [Ab7]si bon
[Bbaug]Lovers say [Ebmaj7]that in France
[Bbm7]When they [Ab7]thrill to romance
[Bbaug]It means that [Ebmaj7]it's so good
[Bbm7]Oh, c'est [Ab7]si bon
[Bbaug]So I say [Ebmaj7]it to you
[Bbm7]Like the [Ab7]French people do
[Bbaug]Because it's oh-so good [Ebmaj7](ba, ba, doo, de)
[Bbm7]Every word, [Ab7]every sigh
[Bbaug]Every kiss, dear
[Ebmaj7]Leads to [Bbm7]only one thought
[Ab7]And it's [Bbaug]this, dear
[Ebmaj7]Mmm, it's [Bbm7]so good
[Ab7]Nothing else [Bbaug]can replace
[Ebmaj7]Just your [Bbm7]slightest embrace
[Ab7]And if you only [Bbaug]would, be my own
[Ebmaj7]For the rest [Bbm7]of my days
[Ab7]I will [Bbaug]whisper this phrase
[Ebmaj7]My darling, [Bbm7]"C'est si bon"
[Ab7]Oui, oui
