The weather is clearing, birds are appearing,
            Â
and I m only three miles from Dover,
to the wind and the ocean, I m throwing caution,
            Â
oh, I can t wait to get back over.
             Â
After two Beaujolais everybody is laughing,

it s better than smoking and its two times as healthy,
          Â
my pockets are empty but I m feeling wealthy,

The last time I was there, she wore her gold hair,
         Â
tied at the back in a pigtail,
              Â
I wonder if she still cares, or even if she s still there,
             Â
oh, I don t want to go into details.
  A#                 Â
Well, the street that she lived in was called Rue Moutard
                  Â
I hope I can find it without asking directions,
            Â
I m so glad I made my own French connection
