lyrics

The Lady’s Cordon Bleu – by Scott Nielsen

She’s a high toned Eastern jet setter
With a look down point of view
A Radcliff grad with a wealthy dad
Shops on Fifth avenue
(I could live on what she spends on shoes)

I’m just down home country simple
Got nothin’ I can’t lose
I’m just jeans and t-shirts
But the lady’s cordon bleu

Chorus:
But when the lights go down
And we’re flesh to flesh
We’re both equal and we both mesh
We harmonize on the same song
Sometimes we sing it all night long

She likes dressing up and dining out
On fancy French cuisine
There’s things on the menu that I can’t pronounce
And the prices, they are obscene

For me dining out is staying home
Throwing ribs on the bar-b-que
I’m just meat and potatoes
But the lady’s cordon bleu

Chorus: repeat



Her idea of a night on the town
Is an up scale East Side bar
Sipping a frozen drink through a tiny straw
And fifty bucks don’t go very far
( I could drink all night on the tip)

I do my drinking from a long neck bottle
Perched on an old bar stool
I’m just beer and Jack Daniels
But the lady’s cordon bleu
Chorus: repeat

Oh, but the lady’s cordon bleu

about

Scott Nielsen Bordentown, New Jersey

"I'm a 50's rocker and never was told how to grow up and when to grow old . . ." to quote one of my tunes and it sums me up pretty well. I have been writing songs since the early 60's. In the 70's I wrote children's songs for Captain Kangaroo. I have been a writer and publisher ASCAP member since 1973.

I write across several genres: country, rock and adult alternative.
