--- Start Of How To Play He Went To Paris by Jimmy Buffett ---

He went to Paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
Savin' the world on his own

But the warm summer breezes those French wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters --- scattered like splinters
And four or five years slipped away

Then he went to England, played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named Jim

And all of the answers and all of the questions
Locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet --- clean country livin'
And twenty more years slipped away

BREAK

Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry

While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin'
Answers that he never found
So he hopped on a freighter --- sailed the ocean
And left England without a sound

Now he lives in the islands --- fishes the pilin's
And drinks his Green Label each day
Writing his memoirs --- losin' his hearin'
But he don't care what most people say

Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say
Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way

And he went to Paris --- lookin' for answers
To questions --- that bothered him so
