I was sworn to Lartigue
A French maid to Henri
Till you took her away from me

And I loved the way
She used to dust during tea
Till you took her away from me

She’s the kind of girl you see
In a pin-up magazine
Or up on the silver screen

Starring in a famous scene
She gets in the limousine
Showing off her diamond rings

Oh, we had plans to build
A chalet by the sea
Till you took her away from me

Laughing over arguments
Between Nantes and Nice
Till you took her away from me

But at least we could agree
On a different cuisine
Every night of the week

Lartigue please come back to me
How am I supposed to grow old without you?

Lartigue please come back to me
How am I supposed to go on without you?

Lartigue I am eager to please
And in 30 I’ll retire
We’ll be so admired
As we sit and watch the tide
Our ship’s come in
