It's better than smoking and it's two times as healthy.

The last time I was there, she wore her gold hair,

Bbsus/F               Bb/F  F
Tied at the back in a pig - tail.

I wonder if she still cares, or even if she's still there.

Oh, I don't wanna go into de - tails.

          Bb                              F
Well, the street that she lived in was called Rue Mouffetard.

  Bb                         F
I hope I can find it without asking directions.
