Based on Italy 1983
Riccardo Fogli — Per Lucia
French Riviera bella, I've arrived
Too pricey, but expenses are paid by RAI
Observing the excessive reckless wealth dispersal
Then tomorrow it's my first rehearsal
Where to be at? Need to find it
In Fontvieille, one place that
Can hold events like it
Léo Ferré Auditorium
The largest, seems likely
Locked down, entry prevented
Grand Casino? Worth a try
But no Bernadette there
Just gamblers and drunks
In Le Rocher, Prince's Palace
A banquet of some sort
Could be opening party?
Asked Rainier if Miss Charell's nearby
"The blonde girl, is she still here?" – He starts to cry
This banquet sucks, excused myself to leave the party
On the way home, by the port, a sign reads:
"Le Grand Prix", ha! Think I've found it!
Spectators are crowding
Supporters of Stavros?
Gry, or Farré? Hell.. Remedios?!
It seems on the road, though
With cute shallow autos
Open-wheel cars
Like a go-kart
But where is Carola's?
Guy's tricolour bonnet?
Beautiful race, not much fun though
If that's Eurovision
Shame on Monte Carlo
I'm not sure this is it, and left
Too silent is the voice Corinne Hermès
Enough with this ridiculous search, that's not funny
Urgent matter, I perform domani
Fantasiaa? Did I dream it?
Are all a bit stupid, went to Indonesia?
And it's today
I'll just chance it
Watch opening credits
Then get there by taxi
A cathedral with two towers
Orchestral air footage
Of way too high mountains
La Baviera? Wait a second..
Got my Monacos mixed up
Non è il principato
