Take It Easy

I took a little day trip, found myself in France Heard that stuff about the Paris girls and I thought I'd take a chance Wound up in a sidewalk bar, turned in a lady's head When she agreed to go with me, why to myself I said Don't you know, didn't you go Didn't you give me half a chance? I'll be back on a steamroll mama, gonna make it back to France Well, you gotta take it easy but you take it If you're gonna find romance All you need is a couple of drinks, that's what the ladies say All you gotta have is a barrel to wine and you're much more fun in bed I was young, inexperienced, oh I gave her my all I woke up with an aching head and Reddy's note on the wall Don't you know, I had to go I swear I gave you half a chance Well, you take it easy but you take it That's the way we do it in France Well, you gotta take it easy but you take it If you're gonna find romance I learned a lesson or two that night, several the next day Like how a man should carry himself when he goes far away In spite of it all I'm happy, you can call me a crazy fool But I got a lesson or two that night I could never have had at school Don't you know, don't you know You gotta take a chance I'm going back on a steamroll mama, gonna make it back to France Well, you gotta take it easy but you take it If you're gonna find romance If you're gonna find ro—, if you're gonna Find ro—, if you're gonna find romance
