Blues For Monique

I got the blues for Monique, Monique

She runs all over Paris all night long

I got the blues for Monique, Monique

She runs around Paris all night long

I love that gal from the day I was born

Oh, Monique, come back to me, baby

Come back to me one more time

I love Monique

Come back to me, Monique

I love you

I love you, one more time

Now if you run away this time, baby

You will let me down

I saw you on the Champs

You were strolling along so wonderful

It was a big pleasure to see you

Then I think I saw you in Saint Germain

You were strolling so neat, Monique

But I know where I saw you

I saw you in Montmartre

Yeah, that's where I saw you, in Montmartre

I think you was down to Gabby's

Leroy's hands eating red beans and rice

Chitlins and rice

Collard greens and rice

Fried chicken and rice

Beef stew and rice

Pig ears and rice

Apple pie and rice

Champagne and rice

Baby, you were very nice to me, Monique

It was a big pleasure

Vamos all, Monique

Come on, boys, yeah
