The Bicycles - Paris Be Mine lyrics

rate me

China is great

and Brantford is just fine.

I think it was in Ottawa that I had the best time.

Though Montreal's appealing,

oh, I need the real thing.

Paris, oh, Paris,

be mine.

When I was just sixteen years old,

that's when I found out where I needed to go.

Yeah, I found the answer in the Tropic of Cancer,

discovered letters and dirty whores in an ice cream book report.

Now some years have passed and I still know

I found a garden for my heart to grow.

The big Eiffel Tower, like a beautiful metal flower,

was smiling, singing down to me.

She said, "Si'il je et vous ette ti si."

And I won't be afraid of no men in berets.

I will dance and parade all over town.

And I can't get hurt by no women in striped shirts.

I won't be shy or embarrassed, no, not here in Paris.

China is great

and my friends are right.

I think of all the crazy nights of drinking cheap red wine.

Though certainly I'll miss you,

I heard they have missed tissues

in Paris, oh, Paris, be mine.

Paris, oh, Paris, be mine once again.

Paris, oh, Paris

be mine.<br />
