Correction of my last post.   It should read:

Here's what it sounds most like she's singing:

"Chantez, m'en apprendre tes danser, danser,
Danser, dancer dans le pré.   
Chantez, m'en apprendre tes danser, danser,
Danser, dancer allegré."

The word "chantez" is not repeated within any line of the chorus.




Monique, "Chantez mon enfance et dansez" would make sense too, but if that's the line, Clooney is pronouncing "mon" as if it rhymed with "en," not with "on."
