[Chorus]
Goin' down to Monte Carlo
About twenty-five K from Nice
Goin' down to Monte Carlo
About twenty-five K from Nice
Got to get myself together
Gotta get my head some peace

[Verse 1]
Sartre said that hell is other people
I believe that most of them are
Sartre said hell is other people
I believe that most of them are
Well, their pettiness amazes me
Even after I've gone this far

[Chorus]
Goin' down to Monte Carlo
Twenty-five K from Nice
Goin' down to Monte Carlo
'Bout twenty-five K from Nice
Gotta get my head together
Gotta get my head some peace

[Trombone Solo]
[Verse 2]
Playing in the background
Some kind of phoney pseudo jazz
Playing in the background in the restaurant
Some kind of phoney pseudo jazz
I don't care, I'm trying to get away from people
That are trying to drive me mad

[Verse 3]
After everything I've worked for
Not goin' to throw everything away
After everything I worked so hard for
I'm not goin' to give it all away
I just need to take a raincheck
I can live to fight another day

[Chorus]
Goin' down to Monte Carlo
Twenty-five K from Nice
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down to Monte Carlo
Still about twenty-five K from Nice
Gotta get my head showered
Got to find some release

[Scatting]
[Instrumental]
