Bon Voyage Dec0217

Bon Voyage © Tony Fallon  Dec0217

When I met you in the bar you had a glass of brandy

You lived right outside town which to me was fine and dandy

You told me you were German and you came from Bonn

I didn’t have a ring in my nose but still, you led me on

Your disposition seemed good and you were more than happy

You looked just great and in your mini skirt you looked snappy

You told me right away that you liked me with a big grin

Later that night you brought me to your home and took me in

We both know what happened that night in your bed

You were the greatest thing invented since sliced bread

When we got up that morning I could barely stay awake

But you were full of energy you really take the cake

Next, we had a great big breakfast of sausages ham and eggs

And you were ok when I wouldn’t eat the fried frog’s legs

For my breakfast, I could eat almost any kind of fish

But I don’t want to see frog’s legs on my breakfast dish

I said I thought frogs legs was a dish of people from Paree

I don’t know what on God’s earth you meant when you said we

Your roommate and you acted like I was really daft

At my ignorance of your language laughed and laughed

Two weeks later you went home to Germany on a trip

When you came back stateside somehow I got the pink slip

I know while you were away I did not get into any capers

So why the hell when you came back did I get my walking papers?

You told me you were not engaged to be a German wife

 I guess there will be no Helga and I’ll have to get on with my life
