He recorded a number of successful albums and singles, beginning in the 1960s.

[Verse 1]
C Em Em/B
You talk like Marlene Dietrich,
Dm7 G G7/B
And you dance like Zizi Jean - maire,
C Em Em/B
Your clothes are all made by Balmain,
Dm7 G
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, there are!
[Verse 2]
C Em Em/B
You live in a fancy a - partment,
Dm7 G G7/B
Off the Boulevard ...Saint- Mi - chel,
C Em Em/B
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records,
Dm7 G
And a friend ...of Sacha Dis - tel,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, you do!
[Verse 3] (*Additional verse)
C Em Em/B
You go to the embassy parties,
Dm7 G G7/B
Where you speak in Russian and Greek,
C Em Em/B
When the young men that move in your circles,
Dm7 G
They hang on every word that you speak,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, you do!
[Chorus]
C Em Em/B
But---- where do you go to my lovely,
Dm7 G G7/B
When you're alone in your bed?
C C/E Em Em/B
Tell me the thoughts that sur - round you,
Dm7 G
I want to look inside your head,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, you do!
[Verse 4]
C Em Em/B
I've seen all your qualifi - cations,
Dm7 G G7/B
You got from the Sor - bonne,
C C/E Em Em/B
And the painting you stole from Pi - casso,
Dm7 G
Your loveliness goes on, and on,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, it does!
[Verse 5]
C Em Em/B
When you go on your summer va - cation,
Dm7 G G7/B
You go to Juan -les -Pins,
C Em Em/B
With your carefully designed top - less swimsuit,
Dm7 G G7/F
You get ...an even sun - tan on your back,
G6/E G/D
And on your legs!
[Verse 6]
C
And, when the snow falls,
Em Em/B
You're found in Saint Mor - itz,
Dm7 G G7/B
With the others of the jet -set,
C Em Em/B
And you sip your Napoleon brandy,
Dm7 G
But you never ...get your lips wet,
G7/F G6/E G/D
No, you don't!
[Chorus]
C Em Em/B
But---- where do you go to my lovely,
Dm7 G G7/B
When you're alone in your bed?
C Em Em/B
Won't you tell me the thoughts that sur - round you?
Dm7 G
I want to look inside your head,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, you do!
[Verse 7] (*Additional verse)
C Em Em/B
You're in between twenty and thirty,
Dm7 G G7/B
A very desirable age,
C Em Em/B
Your body is warm and in - viting,
Dm7 G
But you live on a glittering stage,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, you do!
[Verse 8]
C Em Em/B
Your name, it is heard in high places,
Dm7 G G7/B
You know the Aga Khan,
C Em Em/B
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas,
Dm7 G G7/F
And you keep it ...just for fun, for a laugh,
G6/E G/D
Ah -ha -ha -ha!
[Verse 9]
C Em Em/B
They say that when you get married,
Dm7 G G7/B
It'll be to a million - aire,
C Em Em/B
But they don't realise where you came from,
Dm7 G
And I wonder ...if they really care,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Or give a damn!
[Chorus]
C Em Em/B
Where do you go to my lovely,
Dm7 G G7/B
When you're alone in your bed?
C Em Em/B
Tell me the thoughts that sur - round you,
Dm7 G
I want to look inside your head,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Yes, I do!
[Verse 10]
C Em Em/B
I-- re - member the back streets of Naples,
Dm7 G G7/B
Two children ...begging in rags,
C Em Em/B
Both touched with a burning am - bition...
Dm7 G
...To shake off their lowly-born tags,
G7/F G6/E G/D
They tried!
[Verse 11]
C Em Em/B
So---- look into my face, Marie -Claire,
Dm7 G G7/B
And re - member just who you are,
C Em Em/B
Then go, and forget me for - ever,
Dm7 G
But I know ...you still bear the scar,
G7/F G6/E G/D
Deep in - side, yes, you do!
[Chorus]
C Em Em/B
I---- know where you go to, my lovely,
Dm7 G G7/B
When you're alone in your bed,
C Em Em/B
I know the thoughts that sur - round you,
Dm7 G Dm7 G/D C
'Cause I can look in - side ...your ...head!
