| We were drunk fools in Paris, stumbling on the sidewalk
 | 
| That runs along the Seine, and on the Cathedral
 | 
| All the gargoyles watched us laughing
 | 
| «Two stupid Americans…»
 | 
| We were at the mercy of this passionate waiter
 | 
| Who pulled the corks at the Osterasis Cafe
 | 
| He kept serving us wine we hadn’t ordered
 | 
| Then he blamed us for the weather
 | 
| It was cold and rainy —
 | 
| But we raised a glass up to him anyway
 | 
| We did Paris in a day
 | 
| What would Marie Antionette say?
 | 
| We made a vow on the Champs Elysees
 | 
| That nothing would come between us
 | 
| The Mona Lisa, I said, «She smiles just like she knows me»
 | 
| You said, «She's a woman with nothing to lose —
 | 
| She gathers a crowd around her, then she
 | 
| Flirts with perfect strangers, but she’ll
 | 
| Never take a lover in the Louvre —
 | 
| She will never take a lover in the Louvre…»
 | 
| We did Paris in a Day
 | 
| What would Quasimodo say?
 | 
| Would he stand on top of Notre Dame
 | 
| And throw down tourists to us?
 | 
| A thousand stairs up the Pompadou
 | 
| We were gasping at the view
 | 
| If we tried for Jim Morrison’s gravesite too
 | 
| We’d probably have to find a tour bus
 | 
| And man, how do we find a tour bus
 | 
| Without finding another day
 | 
| We took the M across the Seine
 | 
| And headed for the Eiffel tower
 | 
| And there the street merchants
 | 
| Called us out by name
 | 
| «Cool shades here for the Americans»
 | 
| They said in their finest hipster English
 | 
| And then they told us, «Every Yankee looks the same»
 | 
| I said, «Is it the camera case, or our American grace?»
 | 
| They said
 | 
| «You all just look the same…»
 | 
| We lit a candle for a ghost in the Notre Dame Cathedral
 | 
| We got lost on the Left Bank looking for a place in which to stay
 | 
| When we told the waiter there what we had done, he said
 | 
| «Only an American would attempt Paris in a day…
 | 
| Only an American would do Paris in a day…»
 | 
| We did Paris in a day
 | 
| What would Marcel Marceau say?
 | 
| We put up our feet at the Fountain Cafe
 | 
| And toasted the bond between us
 | 
| We drank sherry with an Englishman
 | 
| We caught up like long lost friends
 | 
| Under the Arc we watched the sunset end
 | 
| And laughed at the miles that had passed beneath us
 | 
| The miles that passed beneath us
 | 
| You said, «That's kilometres, baby»
 | 
| But I wouldn’t let it come between us
 | 
| Nothing will come between us
 | 
| Nothing will come between us… |
