Goin' To Paris

Well I'm goin' to Paris in the morning soon
Well I'm goin' to Paris in the morning soon
If I don't leave in the morning, I'm gonna leave in the afternoon
I'm gonna see President De Gaulle, I know he will welcome me in
I'm gonna see President De Gaulle, I know he will welcome me in
Yeah he will shake my hand and say, Jack Dupree come on in
Say I got a lot to tell you, I want you to listen close to me
Say I got a lot to tell you, I want you to listen close to me
Say why don't you leave your home town, come on here and join with me
He said you know Lyndon B. Johnson, none of them don't mean you no good
(And that's the truth!)
He said Lyndon B. Johnson, or none of them don't mean you no good
Said come on here to Paris, where you do yourself some good
I said President De Gaulle, I said we'll make everything all right
I said President De Gaulle, I know we'll make everything all right
We got to sit down talking, and we drink the whole time that night
All right, look out now, went down to the Eiffel Tower too
This is where I belong! What am I doing anywhere else?
Take one more, son, that's what you get paid for
Yeah when I come in town they had all the flags out for me
Yeah when I come in town they had all the flags out for me
I asked the people what's the celebration, they said that's for Jack Dupree (yeah)
I said, wonder, wonder, why the people think so much of me?
Lord, I wonder, wonder, why the people think so much of me?
Say you thank president De Gaulle cause he made everything all right with me
