FRENCH KISSING

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

There is a place somewhere called Paris
And I’m going there on vacation today;
A city where every useless worry or care is
Forgotten and carelessly tossed away.

I don’t need to see the Eiffel Tower
Or pray at CathΓ©drale Notre-Dame.
I’d happily pick a delicate wildflower
Or caress a charming man’s arm.

I’d love to stroll through PΓ©re Lachaise,
Have a chat at the grave of Jim Morrison.
I’d play him some tunes like Jimi’s β€œPurple Haze’’,
Just dishing the dirt with that sexy rapscallion.

You won’t catch me near the Seine for dinner;
Much too highbrow and touristy for me.
Seat me at a bar with the saint or the sinner;
We’ll close the place down at quarter past three.

Mona Lisa is enigmatic in a gilt frame so fine
But the thought of the Louvre is a total bore.
I’d rather be laughing in a park drinking wine
Or sharing a smoke on a bench with a whore.

I’ve got nothing to hide; it’s far from a secret:
When it comes to Parisian men I’m a big flirt.
The playboys in the square whisper β€œCome, be my pet”
And I purr β€œOui, oui, mon cheri! Who will it hurt?”

There is a place somewhere called Paris
And I’m going there on vacation today.
I’ll give life a sultry lingering French kiss;
When I’m in Paris I like to do things my way.

  11. Oh Nancy, what memories you’ve conjured up for me! I love your view of Paris and what’s worth experiencing there. Life in all its richness… And all its sauciness! πŸ˜‰ What if I told you that when I was a student, I lived there for two years? Definitely the city of romance!

  14. I actually read this in a French accent, Nancy (and I’m not very good at accents!) – it just added to the playful fun! ‘Seeing’ the place is much better than seeing the place. πŸ™‚
