VIVA L'AMOUR

CHORUS
Viva la, viva la, viva l'amour.
Viva la, viva la, viva l'amour.
Viva l'amour, viva l'amour, viva la compagnie. Hey!

A friend on your left and a friend on your right.
Viva la compagnie!
In love and good fellowship let us unite.
Viva la compagnie. Hey! CHORUS

Wider and wider our circle expands.
Viva la compagnie.
We sing to our comrades in far away lands.
Viva la compagnie. Hey! CHORUS

Let every good fellow now join in this song.
Viva la compagnie.
Success to each other and pass it along.
Viva la compagnie. Hey! CHORUS

When you sing the first line of the chorus, raise your right hand in the air in front of you like a sword. For the second line, put your arm down in front of you like a sword pointed at the ground. Then, for the first "Viva l'amour" of the third line, point to the left across your body with the sword. Then, for the second "Viva l'amour" point away to the right. Then, for the "Viva la compagnie" point it up into the air again. And finally, for the "Hey", sweep your sword down to the ground with a flourish so your arm is at your side.
