Lyrics to Le Rendez-vous:
last night we had a rendez vous
how do you do? comment allez-vous?
we went to see a french movie
mais qu'est-ce qu'il fait?
mais qu'est ce qu'il dit?
you really got a hold on me
i wanna hear you say: oh oui!
chèrie chèrie j'en rève la nuit
chèrie chèrie comment ça va?
quelle heure est-il?
je ne sais pas!

we hang around dans ton quartier
like walkin down Champs Elysées
you let me get in dans ton lit
best place in paris to be!

chèrie chèrie j'en rève la nuit
chèrie chèrie comment ça va?

quelle heure est- il?
je ne sais pas!

then you said: stop it! Ça suffit!
won't let you get in dans ma vie
and anything[fi1]  I said or do
wouldn't change your mind, non pas du tout...

chèrie chèrie comment Ça va?
chèrie chèrie, j'en rève la nuit
comment Ça va?
je ne sais pas!

last night we had a rendez-vous
how do you do? comment allez-vous?
we went to see a french movie
mais qu'est ce qu'il fait?
mais qu'est ce qu'il dit?
i put my hand dans ton panier
you were not celle que vous croyez...
you really got a hold on me
I wanna hear you say: oh oui!

chèrie chèrie j'en rève la nuit
chèrie chèrie comment ça va?
quelle heure est- il?
je ne sais pas!

A GOOD GUIDE TO THE USE OF ADJECTIVES

POSITION OF ADJECTIVES

Adjectives AFTER the noun

In English we usually put most adjectives before the noun.  In French, however, most adjectives come after the noun, including:

1.      Adjectives indicating COLOUR or SHAPE

Une robe rouge  -  a red dress

2.      Adjectives of ORIGIN, RELIGION, PROFESSION, or those that refer to the arts

Une fille française  -  a French girl 

Adjectives BEFORE the noun

The following adjectives usually go before the noun. 

Autre (other)	Petit (small)
Jeune (young)	Vilain (ugly, naughty)
Même (same)	Bon (good)
Haut (high)	Grand (big, great)
Joli (pretty)	Gros (fat)
Mauvais (bad)	Long (long)
Méchant (bad, naughty)	Gentil (nice)
Meilleur (better, best)	Beau (handsome, beautiful)
Vieux (old)	Nouveau (new)
	Vrai (true)

When 2 adjectives have the same position they can be joined by the conjunction ‘et’

Une femme intéressante et intelligente            An interesting and intelligent woman

If an adjective is an integral part of the noun, another adjective can follow it without using ‘et’

Un petit jeune homme      A small young man

Adjectives!
