They went to see Paris it was the 17th of May And now as ever she was late And now as ever she complained about the seating And the salmon was the worst she ever ate He was a little bit too easy A little bit too happy she could see He sees them sitting at a sidewalk restaurant And it is spring and they are young and they are free She said that if we hope to see it all within a week We better make a plan and keep it steady He said: I'm having a fantastic time already
They were going to a party just before the end of March And now as ever she was late And now as ever she's unhappy with her hair And wonders how he got his shoes in such a state He was a little bit too easy A little bit too happy for her taste He sees them opening a bottle of champagne And they are joining in a lovers' sweet embrace She said that if this evening was to turn out as they planned He'd better play his part and play it steady He said: I'm having a fantastic time already
He was about to leave her, it was February fifth And now as ever she was late And now as ever she would speak of their affair, She says, she simply can't accept this as their fate He was a little bit too easy A little bit too happy, she would moan He sees himself in an apartment down the road Where he can dream his dreams in peace and be alone She said to him I'll show you we can have good times again But only if you play the straight and steady He said: I'm having a fantastic time already
