You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in you hair, yes there are
You live in a fancy apartment
Off the boulevard St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Dispel, yes you do
You go the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the youngmen who move in your circles
They hang on every word you speak, yes they do
But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the parts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
I've seen all your qualifications
You've got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goed on and on, yes it does
When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pines
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs
And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jetset
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't
But where do you go to...
You're in between 20 and 30
A very desirable age
Your body firm and inviting
But you live on a glittering stage, yes you do, yes you do
You name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, just for a laugh, hahahaha
They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
But where do you go to...
I remember the back streets of Napels
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly brown tags, they try
So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear
The scar, deep inside, yes you do
