Quiet days in Clichy (II)    (video)

 

                 G

1. There were two girls from the café,

                                           D          G

    we picked both of them up one day.

 

    We took both of them to our flat,

                                                       D           G       - D - G

    and the red-headed one gave Carl the clap.

              G

2. The dark-haired girl took off her shoe,

                                             D                     G

    she smiled at Joey and then she was through.

 

    He tried everything, but just his luck,

                                                 D         G

    the one from Jamaica just wouldn't fuck.

 

 G                        - F                 G                       - F        G

Oh, quiet days in        Clichy ! Oh, quiet days in      Clichy !

 

      G

3. Little Colette she has no sense,

                                              D          G

    serving the breakfast without her pants,

 

    spoiling the coffee, burning the eggs,

                                            D           G       - D - G

    all of her brains are between her legs.

       G

4. Baby Colette, she's all grown up,

                                            D               G

    sweeping the floor and washing the tub.

 

    Cleaning the dishes and ironing the clothes,

                                             D        G

    what she's thinking, God only knows.

 

 G                        - F                 G                       - F        G

Oh, quiet days in        Clichy ! Oh, quiet days in      Clichy !

 

 

 

 

 

 

             G

5. The sad-eyed girl from the grocery store,

                                                    D                  G

    her American husband didn't love her anymore.

 

    He deserted her, he vanished away,

                                                                 D              G       - D - G

    and she wants to speak English now, night and day.

                        G

6. They would go to a movie and then for a walk,

                                                      D          G

    and to the apartment for some fun and talk.

 

    She would sleep with one or she would sleep with the other,

                                                         D                 G

    as long as they spoke English it really didn't matter.

 

 G                        - F                 G                       - F        G

Oh, quiet days in        Clichy ! Oh, quiet days in      Clichy !

 

        G

7. Then there was Jean from the Herald Tribune,

                                               D           G

    bringing bottles of wine up to their room.

 

    They could squeeze her tits and rub her crack,

                                                        D             G    - D- G

    but the thought of f….ing drove her quite mad.

                  G

8. At the thought of a cock inside her cunt,

                                                    D                    G

    she would always begin to smash the place up.

                                                           

    She would weep and screech and scream and cry,

                                               D       G

    and then come back for another try.

 

 G                        - F                 G                       - F        G

Oh, quiet days in        Clichy ! Oh, quiet days in      Clichy !

 G                        - F           G                  

Oh, quiet days in        Clichy.     (capo 3rd)  (C.J. Mcdonald)
