lyrics

It was an ordinary Christmas Eve
Without hope, without joy, without prayers
Mr. Walker and I mulled our fate by the tree
When the needle dropped on the record player

Ooh là là
Un deux trois
Yé-yé bébé
Viens à moi

I woke to the clatter and what did I see
She wore short red shorts and a green camisole
She turned with the music and pointed at me
And shimmied as she mouthed, “I want some sugar in my bowl”

Mademoiselle Joyeuse Noëlle
M’a rendu une visite exceptionelle
Drôle, vivace, elegante, et belle
Mademoiselle Joyeuse Noëlle

Her eyes were alight, her cheeks were merry
She beckoned with her finger for me to draw near
As I arose, she cocked her red beret
Then leaned in close and whispered in my ear:

Ooh là là
Un deux trois
Yé-yé bébé
Bouge avec moi

A lexicon was unnecessary
From the way she moved as we danced real slow
Then she took me by the hand and said “Alors, cheri –
Tu ne veux pas voir ton cadeux?”

Mademoiselle Joyeuse Noëlle
M’a rendu une visite exceptionelle
Gentille, curieuse, intelligent, et belle
Mademoiselle Joyeuse Noëlle

With a wink of her eye and a twist of her hips
My stocking was filled – who could resist it?
Before I could speak she put her finger to my lips
And pushed me back down as she insisted:

Ooh là là
Donne le moi
Merci cheri
Encore une fois

Elle était un cliche
De mon désir et désespoir
Pour ces choses banales, on ne merite rien
Mais si arrivent des miracles, je prendrai le mien

Mademoiselle Joyeuse Noëlle
M’a rendu une visite exceptionelle
C’a n’était pas qu’une liaison spirituelle
Mademoiselle Joyeuse Noëlle
