FRENCH GARDEN
daevid allen

In a French garden by the sea
Sittin up there
in an old oak tree
Looking out over
the straights of Dover
Wonderin how I can
Get back over to

See you
Sittin in your bed
Be there

In a little café
by the Zeider Zee
Sitting there dreaming
of a cup of English Tea
Lying there looking
for a four leaf clover
Waiting for an albatross
to carry me over

You gotta prove
you're a millionaire
They search you for thoughts
and they measure your hair
They say it's a question
of all the clothes you wear
Who knows you there
The clothes you wear

Well I was sitting
in this French garden by the sea
and I was sittin up high
in this old oak tree
and I was looking out over
the straights of Dover
Wonderin how I could
Get back over to see you
But there was this strange
old fashioned
Customs service stopping me

See you
Sittin in your bed
Be there
