French Weekend

Happy birthday dear GloriaHappy birthday to you

Here's a weekend in Paris

Especially for you

You can visit

Notre Dame Cathedral

and pray on your knees

You can stroll down the Avenue

they call Champs-Elysees

You can climb the Eiffel Tower

which is 300 metres high

The hour before sunset is breathtaking

that high in the sky

I feel I must warn you

so you're not caught unawares

There are one thousand, six hundred

and fiftytwo stairs

But afterwards you can rest

 as you sail down the Seine

And you'll be fit to climb the Tower

again and again.

I must sign off now

 as there's not much more to say

Except have a wonderful trip

and a brilliant birthday
