Lyrics

Café on the Left Bank

[Verse 1]

Café on the left bank, ordinary wine

Touching all the girls with your eyes

[Verse 2]

Tiny crowd of Frenchmen 'round a TV shop

Watching Charles de Gaulle make a speech

[Bridge]

Dancing after midnight, sprawling to the car

Continental breakfast in the bar

[Verse 3]

English-speaking people drinking German beer

Talking far too loud for their ears

[Verse 1]

Café on the left bank, ordinary wine

Touching all the girls with your eyes

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Dancing after midnight, crawling to the car

Cocktail waitress waiting in the bar

[Verse 3]

English-speaking people drinking German beer

Talkin' way too loud for their ears

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro]
