Between the railway-line
And the country-estate, set out
In the style of Capability Brown
Little old man
In your little old foreign car
With overseas number plate
Do you know this place that I know not
Are you a tourist, or a local character
Someone who prefers left hand drive
Leans, to the continental way of life
Between the piano and the violin
Between the green lights
And the sail boats
That bobble up and down
Little old man
In your little old foreign car
With overseas number plate
Would you care to share a baguette
Or take pasta, sprinkled with parmesan
Drink bottled water, Perrier of course
Or perhaps champagne, sipped in place of strife
