Lyrics

1. The city shined that night on me and that special girl
You know, the kind you're always dreaming of
Tall and young, well a little younger than me and that's what this song is all about

I said hey, waiter bring me my wine
But he brought some spirit I hadn't drunk since 69
All the same I said here's looking at you kid
But it tasted strange and made me scratch my head and think

Now how was I to know, how could I see
That it's not just a feeling coming over me

Ch 1:
Garcon, garcon - my drink tastes funny now there's something wrong
Garcon, garcon - where's this spirit coming from?
Garcon, garcon - monsieur it's that lady there
Where?!

Garcon - that's no lady that's my...wooooo!

2. I knew that turned down smile and those steely eyes
And that chewing sound as she said
If sadder that sad, really sad, was a place then you'd live there
And left me wondering if I'd ever have more sense
Than I've got hair on my head
And how sometimes things just fall into your lap
But me, it was my dinner instead
And I watched the young girl fly
As I cleaned up all the food on my fly

Ch 2: Garcon, garcon - my shirt's all stained and my baby's all gone
Garcon, garcon - hey can you tell me what went wrong
Garcon, garcon - monsieur but you've got this song
Garcon, garcon - well since you put it that way...

Garcon, garcon - my drink tastes funny now there's something wrong
Garcon, garcon - where's this spirit coming from?
Garcon, garcon - monsieur it's that lady there
Where?!

Garcon - that's no lady that's my
Who said life was fair?
