Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B Cs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the Spring is in the air
Pretty girls are ev'rywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we would climb
Were just seasons out of time
Adieu, Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Adieu, Papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the Spring is in the air
Little children ev'rywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B Cs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the Spring is in the air
Pretty girls are ev'rywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we would climb
Were just seasons out of time
Adieu, Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Adieu, Papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the Spring is in the air
Little children ev'rywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
