        No need to introduce yourself.
        We've met before.
        Don't you remember?
        We met
        In Paris
        Of '43.
        Then again
        In the camps of the following year.

        No need to introduce yourself.
        We've met before.
        Don't you remember?
        We met
        In Paris
        Of '43.
        Then again
        In the camps of the following year.
        And I remember
        Your Cossack cap
        And
        Your flowing robes among the olive groves.
        But we've met
        On so many occasions
        I can't recount.
        So
        I'm not surprised that we meet again
        On the streets of America with a placard your hand.
