In Paris on a morn of MayA
I sent a radio transalanticB
To catch a steamer on the wayA
But oh the postal fuss was franticB
They sent me here they sent me thereC
They were so courteous yet so cannyD
Then as I wilted in despairC
A Frenchman flipped me on the fannyD
-
'Twas only juts a gentle patE
Yet oh what sympathy behind itF
I don't let anyone do thatE
But somehow then I didn't mind itF
He seemed my worry to divineG
With kindly smile that foreign mannieD
And as we stood in waiting lineG
With tender touch he tapped my fannyD
-
It brought a ripple of romanceH
Into that postal bureau drearyD
He gave me such a smiling glanceH
That somehow I felt gay and cheeryD
For information on my caseI
The postal folk searched nook and crannyD
He gently tapped with smiling faceI
His reassurance on my fannyD
-
So I'll go back to TennesseeD
And they will ask How have you spent yourJ
Brief holiday in gay PareeJ
But I'll not speak of my adventureJ
Oh say I'm spectacled and greyJ
Oh say I'm sixty and a grannieD
But say that morn of MayJ
A Frenchman flipped me on the fannyD
