Girls with nose rings and Ray Ban shades, flaunt their tans on the promenade, get yourself some ink like a Philistine, and you’ll fit right in down Florentin

 

Florentin, your bohemian charm

Is never lost on me

Your graffiti painted galleries

Your Rastafari wannabes

Make the streetwise scene with streams of sweetheart melodies

 

Drink my espresso upside down, find my way to the edge of the old town, feeling the rush of that sweet caffeine, makes me run right back to Florentin

 

Florentin, your bohemian charm

Is never lost on me

Your graffiti painted galleries

Your Rastafari wannabes

Make the streetwise scene complete with three-part harmony

 

Hey now there goes Jesus Christ, he fits right in with the local zeitgeist,

walking along with Mary Magdalene, now they’re headed right back to Florentin

 

Florentin, your bohemian charm

Is never lost on me

Your neighborhood mentality

Your perfect sense of irony

That’s the mystery of why I love you, Florentin
