Montreal is a dangerous place You might crash your bike Or you might sit on a bench and cry Boy I'm gonna tell you why
They're walking past you morning, evening Walking past you day and night And not a single one that you know, boy Isn't that a fright? They are every one so pretty Your heart will leap, your spirits sail - You're a fool? With walls of shapely necks and things, It is a jail.
I see you first thing in the morning Out the window in the street Knock it off! Knock it off... I'm just a poor boy trying to make my way And all i can do is feel lonely, Knock it off, knock it off... I can't stand you with your bosoms And your bushy little tails, Ooh, woman, won't you hide it with a veil? The girls of Montreal will leave you crying, Lying facedown in your soup, facedown in your soup, Facedown in your soup.
So you're like a drunkard in a liquorstore You want a taste from every bottle, don't you? Poorboy, that is how you will find your end So the drunk just sits on the floor And weeps his broken heart Be careful what you wish for My little friends For they are here in every colour, Every shape and size and more With bedazzling eyes and hair and stories Frankly, dealing with them is a chore Good luck getting on with any of the serious stuff of life Cause you'll be a stupid crying schoolboy in Montreal, man That's right...
And you'll sing...
I see you first thing in the morning Out the window in the street Knock it off! Knock it off... I'm just a poor boy trying to make my way And all i can do is feel lonely, Knock it off, knock it off... I can't stand you with your bosoms And your bushy little tails, Ooh, woman, won't you hide it with a veil?
...Its an abomination, its absurd, its disgusting, Haven't you heard?
The girls of Montreal will leave you crying, Lying facedown in your soup, facedown in your soup, Facedown in your soup
