Spent some time feelin inferior

French police wouldnt give me no peace

They claimed I was a nasty person

Down along the left bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede

By the light of an eastern moon

But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet

And if they had the words I could tell to you

To help you on the way down the road
