Party in Monaco

V6-MINI

[Intro] Gangway down, chin up White suit, wrong fit [Verse 1] Step off the boat like I own the whole pier Rental guy’s waving, says the return time’s near White casual tux, got a crease like a map One cuff eats my hand, other one’s doing a lap Valet says, “Monsieur,” I say, “That’s close enough” My French is two words and a cough in a puff Wrist got a watch that just counts down the rent I nod at the doorway like I know where it went [Chorus] Party in Monaco, I’m dressed for the scene Jacket too roomy, but the pockets look clean Talk like a prince with a coupon tucked low If I look like I’m rich, don’t ask what I owe Party in Monaco, smile for the flash One drink on the tab, two coins in the stash I fake that I’m fitted, I fake that I’m known Then I check the boat app to get back to my home [Verse 2] They ask what I’m drinking, I point at the glass Say “vintage,” bartender says, “That’s house-brand sass” I’m posing by a fountain with a borrowed gold chain It’s got someone else’s initials engraved in the frame My pants make a noise when I sit in the lounge Like a tiny old sailboat complaining out loud I tell them my villa’s “a short drive away” It’s a room by the station, paid through Monday [Chorus] Party in Monaco, I’m dressed for the scene Jacket too roomy, but the pockets look clean Talk like a prince with a coupon tucked low If I look like I’m rich, don’t ask what I owe Party in Monaco, smile for the flash One drink on the tab, two coins in the stash I fake that I’m fitted, I fake that I’m known Then I check the boat app to get back to my home [Bridge] “Which family?” they ask me; I say, “The budget kind” My tailor’s a website and the fit’s undefined I lift up my chin as the hem hits my shoe If confidence counts, then the outfit came through [Final Chorus] Party in Monaco, I’m dressed for the scene Jacket too roomy, but the pockets look clean Talk like a prince with a coupon tucked low If I look like I’m rich, don’t ask what I owe Party in Monaco, smile for the flash One drink on the tab, two coins in the stash I fake that I’m fitted, I fake that I’m known Then I check the boat app to get back to my home [Outro] Gangway down, chin up Rental due at six White suit, wrong fit Still got in
