Rhyme it to your flowing sleeve,

Aimer, aimer; c’est à vivre.

Sleeve, I said, but what’s the harm

If I really meant your arm?

Mine shall twine it (by your leave),

Aimer, aimer; c’est à vivre.

Learning French is full of slips;

Do as I do with the lips;

Here’s the right way, you perceive,

Aimer, aimer; c’est à vivre.
