Well, she Gspeaks good French sitting pretty on the bench
But I Emknow she's only Dafter his Ggold
She Glooks so fine, it's naturally a crime
She Emcomplains that she's Dgetting too Gold
So she Dtells her mama that she's Cfallen in Glove
With a Emrich man who can take her far aDway
But the Gwheel of Dtime, make her Cchange her Gmind
The Emhour on her Djudgement Gday

So EmI'll be Dleaving her aGlone
And Dif I'm right, mama, you'll Chave to sing to Gme
And if I'm Emwrong, well, I won't be in your Dway
If I Gfind myDself at the Cmercy of the Glaw
Won't you Emfree me on my Djudgement Gday?
I said, you Emfree me on my Djudgement Gday?
