The Cardigans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said my dress was very cute
I found you found me
Dancing in this melody
Heavenly!
We were swinging on so nice
Bubbly pink champagne on ice
Nancy, Jacques Closeau and Claire
I believe they all were there
Having the time of their lives
You had Rose's lime
Mixed with vodka, I had wine
People having fun
Cocktails in the evening sun
Give me one!
We were swinging on so nice
Bubbly pink champagne on ice
Nancy, Jacques Closeau and Claire
I believe they all were there
Having the time of their lives
La la la do de do de do
