It's ten a.m. in gay Paris I got half a day and a whole lot to see Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou From the Pont Marie down to Tolbec West Well, the Metro's closed and it's craziness Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou I haven't been here now for such a long time Now I'm here and I want to see it through To miss this opportunity would be a crime Chances are so far between and few Well, I got to hurry, well, I got to move I got so little time, so forget the Louvre Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou So many signs I'm gonna disobey And these cafe tables getting in the way Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou Two thousand years of culture here before your eyes Well I'm here and I'm longing to proceed What I am seeing here is how a culture dies What is past is everything you need Well, the sun is high and it's almost noon I'll have to turn around if I don't get there soon Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou I haven't been here now for such a long time Now I'm here and I want to see it through To miss this opportunity would be a crime Chances are so far between and few Well, I'm stuck in a city of lights that are red But my destination's still miles ahead Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou There's so many things that I'd like to see If I ever get from point A to point B Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou Gotta run run run to the Centre Pompidou...
