Naughty Naughty Nantes


Cliché
Written while on holiday in the supposedy sedate Breton end of France... you know... old Catholic and all that. Yes, there are churches... and a lot more besides...

Naughty naughty Nantes
You sure up the ante!
I ask for a hotel,
And the information man said "well
Here... is a selection"
And I picked and asked for direction
Of the cheper one, maybe far
He said - "its right where you are,
Just across ze street"
And down "a leetle beeet"
So to the Hotel Burgogne
Im pleased how well Ive got on
Luxurios within
For 45€ I check in
To the basement far below
That its there I doubt few know
And so I settle down
For a kip before I explore town.
On arising I am amazed
I think I must be a little dazed
Theres a culture shop all right
But many more of the culture of the night
Sex shops and strip clubs abound
In the sleaziest area Ive found
How can a poor catholic boy win...
So much temptation to sin...
Naughty naughty Nantes
You've really upped the ante!
