[Verse 1] Paris taught the frame The ledger, the line Family names in ink Passed from hand to spine She learned the long view there The careful, the clean How numbers hold a house And make a future seen [Pre-Chorus] Then London on her map Rain in the glass An MBA in her bag And the world she could pass She moved through every room With a steady grace One foot in duty One foot in her own place [Chorus] Le Cordon Bleu That was true Le Cordon Bleu The truest thing she knew Sensible can stay True will stay Le Cordon Bleu She chose it anyway [Verse 2] Not for the family plate Not for the CV For hands that know the salt And the shape of tea She cooks like she means it She hosts like a flame White linen, quiet praise And never once a name [Pre-Chorus] The suit was practical The book was sound But in that bright blue school She finally turned around No one else could ask for it No one else could say This one is for me And keep the rest away [Chorus] Le Cordon Bleu That was true Le Cordon Bleu The truest thing she knew Sensible can stay True will stay Le Cordon Bleu She chose it anyway [Bridge] Now looking back, it shines The split in the road One was built to carry One was built to hold The sensible thread The honest thread One kept the world in order One kept her fed [Final Chorus] Le Cordon Bleu That was true Le Cordon Bleu The truest thing she knew Sensible can stay True will stay Le Cordon Bleu She chose it anyway
