Vivez! Mes amis, je suis enchantee Simply to move through the sunlight Open your arms to this warm, bright Moment embracing us Vivez! You have one life, let it be gay Shouldn't one do as one's told to? No, let the moment enfold you Grab up your one golden chance Darlings, life is such romance Give this world a sweeping glance Let it set your soul a-dancing night and day Vivez! Live, here's to life, let us be gay Let go of each inhibition No one need give you permission What are you waiting for? Vivez! Live! No one lets loose every which way Life is too short to be guarded I think I'm quite open-hearted Loosen that heart if you dare Come and lay your passions bare But, my dear, if people stare... Then it's time to let your hair come tumbling down What of propriety? There are rules we obey in society You prefer to live calmly and quietly But your heart wants to play These tender hearts of ours May be endlessly naive But we grow strong if we believe This fragile world of ours Spins us off into the storm Hold on to me and I'll be warm Winnifred, what to do? Well, Davina, we simply must muddle through If there's no one to shudder and sputter to Then we might as well live Oh, vivez! You have one life, let it be gay Don't put it off till you're dying Now is the time to be flying Grab up your one golden chance Darlings, life is such romance Life is tossing you a new bouquet Meet your heart half-way And your heart will say vivez!
