Patrice Pastor in the Village of Monaco: A Real-World Reflection of Patrick McGoohan's 'The Prisoner' After arriving underground by train from Nice, I walked up the stairs, stepped into Monaco, and immediately noticed how clean the streets were. I looked up at the buildings and saw how perfectly maintained they were. Everything around me seemed new and fresh.

| The crane is the most common bird in Monaco |
The air in Monaco is always clean
Sometimes a raven can be seen
But the crane bird is everywhere
Buildings rising here and there
All the cranes bear the same name
From a family with great fame
They rule the skies of Monaco
Better to be their friend than their foe
In the distance is the palace
Where the Prince is pacing with malice
Another day another scandal
The priest shook his head and lit a candle
Who had leaked the dirt?
To cause the monarchy so much hurt
Who made the man with the crown
Look like such a clown?
Surrounded by the wrong men
Punished by a poison pen
Though he still has his crown
Many greet him with a hidden frown
In Monaco the cranes are everywhere
Buildings rising here and there
Sometimes a raven can be seen
But the crane bird is everywhere
Buildings rising here and there
All the cranes bear the same name
From a family with great fame
They rule the skies of Monaco
Better to be their friend than their foe
In the distance is the palace
Where the Prince is pacing with malice
Another day another scandal
The priest shook his head and lit a candle
Who had leaked the dirt?
To cause the monarchy so much hurt
Who made the man with the crown
Look like such a clown?
Surrounded by the wrong men
Punished by a poison pen
Though he still has his crown
Many greet him with a hidden frown
In Monaco the cranes are everywhere
Buildings rising here and there
