Met her on the boulevard, shopping with her credit cards A ballerina from Marseille I cannot grumble, not that I'm humble She bought me dancing shoes, we danced the night away I fell in love with fer, my fancy Frenchly cure And she was heaven in the sack I'm from the wrong world, so many tales to tell I'm just a loner from the wrong side of the track Shoe Dear, oh dear, you spent all our money We pressed your clothes, your shoes were cleaned But I must leave, why can't ya see the final place that it's sunny? I'm not the rich man of your dreams As it seems Went back to the boulevard, cancelled all her credit cards My ballerina from Marseille I cannot grumble, I have been tumbled She turned her back on me and vanished in the air We had a lovely vibe, she bought expensive wines Now I am on the road again She broke my heart at night, I tied my laces tight I heard her screaming and I knew it was the end Shoe Dear, oh dear, you spent all our money We pressed your clothes, your shoes were cleaned But I must leave, why can't ya see the final place that it's sunny I'm not the rich man of your dreams Beers and tears, you tasted our honey And made a monkey out of me You gotta leave, why can't ya see the final place that it's sunny? Take your shoes and leave it be If you please Dear, oh dear, you spent all our money We pressed your clothes, your shoes were cleaned You gotta leave, why can't ya see the final place that it's sunny? I'm not the rich man of your dreams As it seems Beers and tears, you tasted our honey And made a monkey out of me You gotta leave, why can't ya see the final place that it's sunny? Take your shoes and leave it be If you please
