SEX, OUI

The Story Behind The Song

SEX, OUI
From the EP A Murder Most Foul

V1
She was a long-legged woman with the eyes of a movie star
She took the entente cordiale a bit too far
I didn't speak the language, she didn't care
I found her round the back of the Louvre with her legs in the air

Chorus
Sex, OUI! (She digs)
Sex, OUI! (She loves)
Sex, OUI! (She needs)
Sex oui, sex oui!

V2
Now this lady was a real French beauty queen
Miss Paris-By-Night, if you know what I mean
The Moulin Rouge ain't got nothing like her
Down in the catacombs you can hear her purr

Chorus
Bridge

Oh mademoiselle, je t'adore
Oh mademoiselle, I want more
Oh mademoiselle, je t'adore
Oh mademoiselle, I want more, more, more more more yeah...

Solo
Chorus

V3
Take my hand and we'll make love by the Seine
In Pere Lachaise she drove me insane
Ma cherie amour, got my tail held high
Under the Eiffel Tower I felt like I could die

Chorus x2

LEE J:  Aaah, the childish pun. The idea for this song was spawned by the double entedre "sex, Oui" (sex wee - baby gravy etc etc etc). I personally thought it was piss funny, but there you go!!! So, childishness aside I felt a French themed song was required. The story is about some fictional, hot, French Totty. So off I went libido in hand (ooer missus). I'm quite proud of the bridge part of the song - my finest high school French!! As for the tune, this just cried out for a little 12 bar boogie - and that's just what it got. Tres bien!

RATBAG: Bit of a collaboration, this one. Lee brought the song in, but I felt the lyrics could do with a little bit of reworking to make them a bit more French, so I rewrote a few lines to put in a few more references. I had to correct his finest high school French a bit, too...! I like the intro to this one. I reckon a waltz-time "Parisienne Walkways" piss-take is a good way to start a song about banging your way around the tourist spots of Paris with a local nymphomaniac.
