i thought i'd take a sip

inside France

she sipped her wine;

she asked me to dance

while picking ripe grapes

from an overhead vine.

on her daddy's land,

the sun was shining;

her body was sleek and tanned.

i thought i'd take a sip

before that drink was banned:

we'd grab a bottle and laugh;

sing a Stone's song & take a bath.

we'd go crazy with the blues.

oh, we'd never need to choose!

she'd read the news

when the highlights were bold,

saying, all that glitters isn't gold!

my fortune was in the cards!

her private estate surrounded by armed guards

and i'd be a fool to try an escape,

inside where it hurts or out of shape

inside France

she sipped her wine;

she asked me to dance

while picking ripe grapes

from the overhead vine.

on her daddy's land,

the sun was shining;

her body was sleek and tanned.

i thought i'd take a sip

before that drink was banned!
