Romance écossaise


She gives him bon bons, madeleines and éclairs
You have a sweet tooth, darling
He buys her Chanel N°5.

Walking down Argyle street,
she says it's snowing in Paris
because his shirt tail is hanging out.

Pork chops from the butcher
and a gigot of lamb; good nourishment
for the old alliance.

Fish & Chip Shop for Pomme de Frit
Eternal like the sea, this old, unbreakable bond
between woman and man.

Back home, she reads Time Regained;
She likes Baron de Charlus, seasoned old chap
of Parisian street life.
