My dream vacation is to Paris, France,
I want to explore the avenues and hidden streets;
it is a beautiful city full of charm and history,
and at an outdoor café I will have some wine.
(And people watch)
I will gaze at famous monuments,
go to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a great view;
listen to street opera that breaks my heart,
and at a museum I will admire famous art.
(It could take days)
I want to drift down the Seine by boat,
see mossy tombs in cemeteries overflowing;
walk the cobbled boulevards in a raincoat,
go to Parc de Belleville to see the flowers.
(It will be magical)

Oh, where I want to go is Paris, France,
to explore the avenues and hidden streets;
it is a beautiful city full of romance,
and at an outdoor café I will have some eats.
I will gaze at famous monuments and art,
the Eiffel Tower and nice architecture;
listen to opera that breaks my heart,
at a museum I will attend a lecture.
I want to drift down the Seine by boat,
see mossy tombs in cemeteries overflowing;
walk the cobbled boulevards in a raincoat,
go to Parc de Belleville when the wind is blowing.
It will be a magical and amazing vacation,
because this destination is my mind's fixation.
