Story behind the song
From ACT I of the musical "TREES!" Protagonist Jumping Jacques has decided to seek love and adventure in Paris, France. He is about to become a stowaway on a shipment of holiday trees bound for Paris and sings his farewell to his forest animal friends.
Lyrics
At the Christmas tree patch, I learned by chance The next shipment will be sent to France. I'll jump the next wagon for the seaport; See Jacques in France - a surprise import. They'll see I'm kind, and lots of fun; I'll be loved and admired by everyone. I'm off to absorb the French culture. I'm off to a Paris adventure. Monuments, museums and cafés, Mineral water and ice cream parfaits. "There goes quite a handsome tree," they'll say, When they see Jumping Jacques in his red beret! My friends you'll never see Jacques again. I leave you now to your wood domain. My new friend, Bateese, I bid adieu; The forest folks love you beaucoup. Jumping Jacques is eager to see France; There's so much more to life than The forest and the dance. “There goes quite a handsome lad," they'll say, When they see Jumping Jacques in his red beret! I'm off to absorb the French culture; I'm off to a Paris adventure. I'm off to absorb the French culture; I'm off to a Paris adventure.
