the night they invented champagne

Posted by 302 on Feb 14, 2010 in a little too much champagne |

The 17th creeps ever closer and that’ll be the night that I give up champagne. Though tonight I’m thinking about someone who would have enjoyed Gigi and a little champagne.

Gigi: The night they invented champagne
It’s plain as it can be
They thought of you and me
The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
that all we’d want to do
Is fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight
That since the world began
no woman or a man
has ever been as happy as we are tonight!
Gaston: The night they invented champagne (pop)
G & G: It’s plain as it can be
They thought of you and me
The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
that all we’d want to do
Is fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight (pop)
That since the world began
no woman or a man
has ever been as happy as we are tonight! (pop)

THE NIGHT THEY INVENTED CHAMPAGNE
From “Gigi” (1958)
Lyrics : Alan Jay Lerner / Music : Frederick Loewe

    oh you sound so home sick poor thing.

    i want to get around to that end of the world in the next few years again probably sydney though.

    the cape? it’s lovely for the moment, that spurt of late summer heat which’l go all the way through march and then after easter the world cup anticipation will be tangible.

    wine farms? haven’t been out to one for about three weeks so perhaps, perhaps, perhaps but i’m more likely to want to drive down to simonstown for fish and chips but i’ll keep it in mind.

    treatz you!

    Ooooo! I need to come visit & “drink” with you then!

    Its all good this side. I need to get motivated to do a half day of unpaid work :( before attacking the local pub for some Super 14 with some Kiwis. Never have I followed all SA activities as much as since I left the country & found out where they were being screened in my new locations!

    How’s the Cape?? The dear sweet Cape. Go on a wine tour for me… argh. Wait. You can’t. Well, you can at least enjoy the gorgeous views of all the farms!

    because i give up alcohol for 40 days during lent – so not ‘giving up!!!??!’ just taking a break from it. so if you came and had a drink i’d have to give you the bottle.

    How’s australia treating you?
