lyrics

Bataclan

We saw L’origine du monde; we went to Notre Dame;
we wandered down the Champs-Elysées.
We went into a bookstore, saw a cat with no name
and had coffee at a famous café.

Mona Lisa’s still got the highway blues;
Napoleon’s still in his grave.
We’ve paid up our tourist dues;
I need some time for a shower and a shave.
It’s been a long day in the City of Light;
who’s playing at Bataclan tonight?

We saw that place called Deux Amis;
Let’s get tapas and a glass of wine.
That’s what we are: we’re deux amis,
on vacation and feeling fine.
It’s been a long day in the City of Light;
who’s playing at Bataclan tonight?

We’ll sing along if we know the song,
and if we don’t we’ll clap our hands.
We’ve been walking the city all day long;
I just want to hear a couple bands.

It’s been a long day in the City of Light;
who’s playing at Bataclan tonight?
