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
