Lyrics

I speak French really well
In my mind
I also spell
I don't really speak no French at all
I don't speak any French

I speak French
Down those long, long country roads to a chateau
It's got towers
It's got dragons all around with a cannon
I could kill them
Lots of blood for my Mom
Lots of blood for my Mom

I'm gonna buy some shoes
One of them will be tan
The other one a kind of mauve
Because I know colors and I have money
I have friends and if I watch my budget
I can buy them
Go out with my friends
I speak French
In a rental with the air conditioning on
On the right side of the road
We get lost
There's a ____ he's a friend
He will show me the right way to go
In my mind
Maybe I'll go see a church
I'll walk up right to the bell tower
and pretend I'm the Hunch Back
I look pretty good,
I haven't changed for years
I have friends
I speak French
Parlez-Vous Francais?
____ Francais
