[Verse 1]
I like to sing like Dietrich
And act like Carlo
I want to act with Chaplin
And flirt with the Valentino
Dance with Astaire
And walk like Monroe
As they say in Paris
"Je suis retro"
[Verse 2]
I dream I'm Scarlett O'Hara
Madame Bovary
A great {} like Christina
Or maybe Madtop Harry
And meet Howard Hughes
And beach in Harlow
As they say in Paris
"Je suis retro"
[Bridge]
I am retro
And I long for long ago
How does that love
I can see now
Monte Carlo
One, two, three, go!
[Verse 3]
I miss the Lara Mink
On Sunset Boulevard
Champagne at the Ritz
Welcome to be a star
And fly to Brazil
Diamond Rio
As they say in Paris
"I am retro"
[Bridge]
And I long for long ago
I can see now
Monte Carlo
One, two, three, go!
[Verse 4]
I like to sing like Dietrich
And act like Carbo (Monte Carlo)
I want to act with Chaplin (Charlie Chaplin)
And flirt with the Valentino
Dance with Astaire (Fred Astaire)
And walk like Monroe (Marilyn)
As they say in Paris
"Je suis retro"
[Outro]
As they say in Paris
"Je suis retro"
As they say in Paris...
