With the heart light
I depart one night
To embrace my love
For the time was right
And the stars were bright
In the sky above

But she lived so far
And I had no car
And I had no bike
As the cars race by
You could hear me cry
Can I hitch a hike?

I need a lift, monsieur
To meet my love, monsieur
You'll understand, monsieur
Love is grand, monsieur

I've got a date, monsieur
And she won't wait, monsieur
But he said "No, monsieur"
And he left me standing there

Twenty cars went by
And I felt that I'll
Miss my rendezvous
But I felt I'd cope
When a big car stopped
But too late I knew

He had broken down
And I'd be the clown
Who would see him through
Then I heard him say
Push a little way
Then I'll carry you

I need a lift, monsieur
To meet my love, monsieur
You'll understand, monsieur
Love is grand, monsieur

And so I pushed him on
Next thing the car was gone
Of, he was very wrong
To leave me lying on my face

I'm already late
So I just can't wait
For a friendly car
Keep your Fiat Gems
Your Mercedes Benz
And your Jaguar

I'll use my feet monsieur
To meet my sweet monsieur
And if I need monsieur
I'll use my knees monsieur
