The RA version has arrived and I can transcribe the lyrics without any problem.

I used to trasncribe lyrics professionally.

"Hey, Mister, can I get a job like that?"

"No, Johnny, it is a special kind of job."

I was living in Paris looking for ways to eke out the little money I was making busking and as a receptionist at a Student and Artists' Club on the West Bank. I was getting room and some board working as a male au pair fora family with two boys in Malmaison. (The first time I was a commuter was in Paris - around the Arche de Triomphe on my (BMW) motorcycle and down the Champs Elysee and then over to the Left Bank. I've never really had as interesting a commute since then.) It turned out that there were a lot of French singing groups, for some reason it was groups who wanted to sing American songs, that needed to have lyrics trasncribed because they could not understand them from the recording.

It never made a serious income stream but it did lead me to teaching at Berlitz.

In any case, thanks again for the recording.
