Lyrics
The night they invented champagne
It's plain as it can be
They thought of you and me
The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew that all we'd want to do
Is fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight
That since the world began
No woman or a man has ever been
As happy as we are tonight
