Je m'baladais sur l'avenue, le cœur ouvert à l'inconnu J'avais envie de dire "bonjour", à n'importe qui N'importe qui, ce fut toi, je t'ai dit n'importe quoi Il suffisait de te parler, pour t'apprivoiser Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées Tu m'as dit "j'ai rendez-vous dans un sous-sol, avec des fous Qui vivent la guitare à la main, du soir au matin" Alors je t'ai accompagnée, on a chanté, on a dansé Et l'on n'a même pas pensé à s'embrasser Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées Hier soir, deux inconnus et ce matin, sur l'avenue Deux amoureux, tout étourdis, par la longue nuit Et de l'Étoile à la Concorde, un orchestre à mille cordes Tous les oiseaux du point du jour, chantent l'amour Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées
