Lyrics

Well, that, that, that trips me My father always promised me That we would live in France (You know you don't believe that) We'd go boating on the Seine And I would learn to dance We lived in Ohio then And he worked in the mines I don't want to sing this song It's not me My father always promised me that'll we would be free But he did not promise me that we would live in France Hahahahaha Why did I do, take you away again? How 'bout Brooklyn? No, my father knew nothing about New York, at all He promised me that we would live in peace And that maybe I can still get- Okay we have to skip that one, for later
