[02:14.00]A young man goes to Paris, as every young man should.
[02:14.00]There's something in the air of France that does a young man good.
[02:14.00]
[Chorus]
[02:14.00]On the album, Dave sings the beginning of the chorus in phonetic French. Actual French is as follows: Ah! les fraises et les fromboises et les bon vins [que] nous avons bus.
[02:14.00]La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
[02:14.00]Raspberries, strawberries, the good wines we brew.
[02:14.00]Here's to the girls of the countryside, the ones we drink 'em to.
[02:14.00]
[Spoken]
[02:14.00]Paris nights are warm and fair. The summer winds are soft.
[02:14.00]A young man finds the face of love in every field and loft.
[02:14.00]In every field and loft.
[02:14.00]
[Chorus]
[02:14.00]
[Spoken]
[02:14.00]An old man returns to Paris as every old man must.
[02:14.00]He finds the winter winds blow cold. His dreams have turned to dust.
[02:14.00]His dreams have turned to dust. His dreams have turned to dust.
[02:14.00]
[02:14.00]Ah! les fraises et les fromboises et les bon vins que nous avons bus.
[02:14.00]La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
[02:14.00]Raspberries, strawberries, the good wines we brew.
[02:14.00]Here's to the girls of the countryside, whom we must bid adieu.
