“Les Bicyclettes de Belsize” #31 11/30/1968

From a short movie of the same name, this was a Top 5 easy listening hit for Englebert Humperdinck. A French-language version by Mireille Mathieu was also a hit simultaneously on the Continent. For a few months, Englebert hosted a variety show which ran on the ATV network in Britain and ABC-TV in the States.

Certainly one of the most laissez-faire type lyrics I've ever run across.
Or, maybe, just a romantic cynic simply resigning himself to fate.
