Gimme Chablis

Based on Belgium 1986 - J'aime la vie

I lived a life of modesty
I served the tea at H.M.V.
But now I met my destiny
Wow wow ... a new life
(a new life – a new life for me)

Le Beaujolais est arrivé
And so had I at that café
And then I found fate waits for me
in Burgundy

Gimme, Gimme Chablis
(There’s a new life for me)
Lifetime sobriety
(made a wreck out of me)
Gimme, Gimme Chablis
No more abstinence
I’m taking my chance
Gimme, Gimme Chablis

Wow... when I see
my Saint-Emilion arrive
wow wow... I’m alive

I got the sack at H.M.V.
for serving sherry with the tea
Well it’s their loss if they can’t see
I like the good life
(a good life – the best life for me)

Been to the Loire, been to Bordeaux
tasted the wines in their chateaux
drank when that hard day’s work was done
my Dom Perignon

Gimme, Gimme Chablis
(And a good life for me)
Give it excessively
(This is heaven for me)
Gimme, Gimme Chablis
I am in a trance,
my senses enhanced
Gimme, Gimme Chablis

To be precise, I see you twice

Gimme, Gimme Chablis
(so much better than tea)
de Saint-Exupéry
(flew no higher than me)
Gimme, Gimme Chablis
I’m a lush, a drunk,
No longer a monk

Gimme, Gimme Chablis
(This is my destiny)
Lifetime sobriety
(is no longer for me)
when I’m down, when I’m out
I will wine and dine
you won’t hear a whine
Gimme, Gimme Chablis

Wow... now I see
my Saint-Emilion arrive
wow wow I’m free – yes, I’m alive
