Little French Song
Quand tout va mal, when life goes wrong
Try for a little french song
French songs are maybe démodées mais si douces à fredonner
French songs are tender à I'envi, nostalgiques à l'infini
Et quand on n'sait plus where to belong
Try for a little french song
French songs will take you to Paris, to pigalle ou I'île saint-Louis
French song are dancing sous la pluie, de bastille aux tuileries
Because we have de quoi frimer: We have brassens, brel and ferré
We have boris vian, barbara, gainsbourg, trenet, prévert, kosma
Because we have de quoi choisir we have aznavour, reggiani
Bécaud, nougaro, moustaki, édith piaf cioclo and johnny
Oui, oui, oui, oui
Bien sûr c'n'est pas duke ellington
C'n'est pas eivis ni jackson
C'n'est pas fitzgerald ou armstrong
C'est just a little french song
Mais quand le chagrin reste too iong
Moi je chante une little french song
Because we have de quoi frimer: We have brassens, brel and ferré
We have boris vian, barbara, gainsbourg, trenet, prévert, kosma
Because we have de quoi choisir we have aznavour, reggiani
Bécaud, nougaro, moustaki, edith piaf cloclo and johnny
Oui, oui, oui, oui
Et qu'on soit de londres ou de Hong Kong, qu'on soit trois feuilles
Ou shu-bang
Qu'on soit djellabah ou sarong, try for a little french song
Quand les méchants sonnent leur gong
Moi ie chante une little french song
Little French Song
When everything goes wrong, when life goes wrong
Try for a little French song
French songs may be old-fashioned but so sweet to hum
French songs are tender to envy, nostalgic to infinity
And when we don't know where to belong
Try for a little French song
French songs will take you to Paris, to Pigalle or Ile Saint-Louis
French songs are dancing in the rain, from Bastille to Tuileries
Because we have something to show off: We have Brassens, Brel, and Ferré
We have Boris Vian, Barbara, Gainsbourg, Trenet, Prévert, Kosma
Because we have choices, we have Aznavour, Reggiani
Bécaud, Nougaro, Moustaki, Edith Piaf, Cloclo, and Johnny
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Of course, it's not Duke Ellington
It's not Elvis or Jackson
It's not Fitzgerald or Armstrong
It's just a little French song
But when sorrow lingers too long
I sing a little French song
Because we have something to show off: We have Brassens, Brel, and Ferré
We have Boris Vian, Barbara, Gainsbourg, Trenet, Prévert, Kosma
Because we have choices, we have Aznavour, Reggiani
Bécaud, Nougaro, Moustaki, Edith Piaf, Cloclo, and Johnny
Yes, yes, yes, yes
And whether we're from London or Hong Kong, whether we're three sheets
Or shu-bang
Whether we're in djellabah or sarong, try for a little French song
When the villains ring their gong
I sing a little French song
