Chic mademoiselles with their sexy French Kisses
Discrete lacy hotels ah, what bliss this is
A Francophile through and through
But I must bid you adieu
As my wife smashes my head with French dishes
11/16/22
'Tis said that the young girls of France
At the age of twelve lose their pants
To an handsome young knight
Well equipped for the fight
With a strong but flexible lance
Les Françaises are known to cavort
For sex is their national sport
That thing between thighs
Is the Font of Sighs
Though some members seem to fall short
Mademoiselles of course learn to love
Though husbands all get the shove
A wife's hot pursuit
Is for a recruit
Who will fit her needs like a glove
So Frenchmen go out of their way
To please someone's wife for the day
They are always polite
And go home every night
For the French, "Joie de vivre" is that way
Having grey hair aint much fun,
There's no more races to be won,
I sit in my rocker and snore away,
Seem to do it most every day,
I think I'm just about done.
But wait a minute, my numbers came in,
A three hundred thousand lottery win,
I'm off to Paris and the Champs_Elysees,
To chase mademoiselles that aint so grey,
I'm already wearing an adventurous grin.
A bon vivant lyfestyle
of the Bohemians de Paris,
has always saddened and deluded me...
by seeing it in someone's happy smile.
Mademoiselles and jeunne hommes,
exchanging artistic and poetical ideas
at the Cafe' de Flore, or at the Les Deux Magots...
with coffee aroma on their breaths.
Living in legendary and vibrant Hollywood
is an honor to be seen with the admired and respected wealthy;
and whoever struggles, can't keep up with any of them...
whose only desire is the glitter of money.
And steadily dreaming of a bon vivant lifestyle with an aloft
imagination, I let this want often disrupt my peaceful sleep...
not being able to accumulate, quickly enough,
fortunes and stand on that pedestal of greed.
So snap out of fantasy and don't peruse into La Dolce Vita
of Hollywood! Stay away from those extravagant fashion shows!
And at the Cannes, Capri or Venice Film Festival, avoid contact with movie stars,
stare at them from far...they are as contagious as influenza.
