Hey Jacque

by Eartha Kitt

on Down to Eartha (1955), Miss Kitt To You (1992), The Essential Eartha Kitt (2011)

Hey, Jacques--
Have you seen Louis?
Is he still in Paris?
I wait, day after day,
in that cafe
by the river

Please, Jacques,
if you see Louis,
tell him to come to me.
I've tried, I can't forget--
I love him yet.
Please, Jacques,
tell Louis, for me.

[spoken]
Hola, Jacques-- have you seen Louis? He's not come
to see me in (French words)
I've waited, and waited, in that cafe, down by the
river. No, Jacques--- [more French!].

Please, Jacques,
if you see Louis,
tell him to come to me.
I've tried, I can't forget--
I love him yet.
Please, Jacques,
tell Louis, for me.
