Karaoké He Went to Paris Jimmy Buffett

He went to Paris looking for answers to questions that bothered him so

He was impressive young and aggressive saving the world on his own

The warm summer breezes

French wines some cheeses

Put his ambitions at bay

In summers and winters scattered like splinters and four or five years slipped away

And he went to England played the piano and married an actress named Kim

They had a fine life

She was a good wife

And bore him a young son named Jim

And all of the answers to all of the questions locked in his attic one day

'Cos he liked the quiet clean country living and twenty more years slipped away

Well the war took his baby

Bombs killed his lady and left him with only one eye

His body was battered his whole world was shattered and all he could do was just cry

While the tears were a' fallin' he was recallin' answers he never found

So he hopped on a freighter skidded the ocean and left

England without a sound

Now he lives in the islands fishes to pylons and drinks his green label each day

Writing his memoirs losing his hearing but he don't care what most people say

Through eighty six years of perpetual motion

If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say

Jimmy some of it's magic and some of it's tragic but I had a good life all the way

And he went to Paris

Looking for answers to questions that bothered him so
