Song Lyrics in French and English
Sur le pont d'Avignon,

L'on y danse, l'on y danse.

Sur le pont d'Avignon,

L'on y danse tous en rond.

On the Bridge of Avignon

They're all dancing, they're all dancing

On the Bridge of Avignon

They're all dancing round and round.

The men go like this

And they go like that.

The women go like this

And they go like that.
