lyrics

paul, when you get to heaven there'll be
all these angels mostly sizes C and D
all well-endowed with god's great majesty

paul, milk and honey doesn't taste that good
why not get high and burn norwegian wood
'cause there are no penalties for staying put

all your time for work is over
no one here has to stay sober

and all those french girls
will take you by the hand and say "c'mon"
they're gonna take you by the hand and say "let's go!"

paul, you'll love to hear everything that they say
even just "je ne parle pas anglais"
because you're not that into language anyway

paul, i never get to see you anymore
and i hope you'll come and visit me before
you have to walk through that big pearly door

if you don't then i'll be sorry
that i moved across the country

and all those french girls
will take you by the hand and say "c'mon"
they're gonna take you by the hand and say "let's go!"

paul, better days are always up ahead
st. peter from that big long book we read
is gonna welcome you to heaven when you're dead

paul, maybe you can haunt this city to
and not just only pay attention to
all of those foreign friends st. pete'll give to you

and all those french girls
will take you by the hand and say "c'mon"
they're gonna take you by the hand and say "c'mon"
they're gonna take you by the hand and say "let's go!"
