That old Bilboa moon
I won't forget it soon
That old Bilboa moon
Just like a big balloon
That old Bilboa moon
Would rise above the dune
While Tony's Beach Saloon
Rang with an old time tune
We'd sing a song the whole night long
And I can still recall
Those were the greatest
They were the greatest
They were the greatest times of them all
Roses are flowering in Picardy
In the hush of the silvery dew
Roses are flowering in Picardy
Though there's never a rose like you
And the roses may die with the summertime
Though our roads may be far apart
Yet there's one rose that dies not in Picardy
It's the rose I have here in my heart
We could make believe I love you
Or only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two or three
Might as well make believe that I love you
For to tell the truth, I do
Those old Bilbao guys
They love to harmonize
How soon we'd realize
How fast the summer flies
The moon was on the rise
We caught the ladies' eyes
And whispered all those lies
They never did get wise
We sang all night with all our might
And I can still recall
It was fantastic
It was fantastisch
It was fantastic beyond compare
