lyrics

Oh-la-la

Cracking creme brule and drinking wine
the way to dine in old Paris
I can't remember where I am
I had a plan, but c'est la vie
a man approaches
"Can I walk with you awhile, mon cheri?"
I cock my head and keep on walking, reply
"Je ne sais pas."

Ooh-la-ooh-la-la-la-la

Contemplating Christ in Sacre Coeur
this man's still following me
he is flirting in between my prayers
this homme etrange is killing me
he asks if I would like a beer
in broken English, no less
I say yes, he goes to fetch them
I run like hell and don't look back there

Ooh-la-ooh-la-la-la-la

Et je voudrais un cafe, monsieur
Et je voudrais l'amor
Et je voudrais la vie solitaire
Et je voudrais un translator
Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la-la-la

Walking by the Seine
It's nearing midnight
I don't care, I like the air
I feel romantic, I feel tall
I think I could fall for this town
my watch has stopped
and I don't think I want this night to end
a man approaches asks, "Quel heur est-il?"
and I say "Je ne sais pas"
Ooh-la-ooh-la-la-la-la
