THE PROPOSAL
(Written by Marilyn Bergman, Alan Bergman, & Norman Luboff, based on a Hatian folk song)
As sung by the Brothers Four on "Rally 'Round" (1960)

CHORUS: Ma'moiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you!
Never, ever have I proposed before.
What I tell you is true.
Ma'moiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you!
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do."

1. I travel over mountain and hill,
Even sail the tropical sea.
I never feel excitement until
You look in the direction of me.
Now the situation is clear.
No more travelling will I do.
Because I have romantic idea,
And you know it's all about you. CHORUS

2. I'll build a house for you in the sun.
From the window we'll see the moon.
We'll be the envy of ev'ryone,
And we'll be more than two very soon.
Oh, to think this happen to me,
To settle down and pick me a wife,
With all the pretty fish in the sea,
To want to give up fishing for life! CHORUS
