I speak French really well<br> | |||
In my mind<br> | |||
I also spell<br> | |||
I don't really speak no French at all<br> | |||
I don't speak any French | |||
I speak French<br> | |||
Down those long, long country roads to a chateau<br> | |||
It's got towers<br> | |||
It's got dragons all around with a cannon<br> | |||
I could kill them<br> | |||
Lots of blood for my Mom<br> | |||
Lots of blood for my Mom | |||
I'm gonna buy some shoes<br> | |||
One of them will be tan<br> | |||
The other one a kind of mauve<br> | |||
Because I know colors and I have money<br> | |||
I have friends and if I watch my budget<br> | |||
I can buy them<br> | |||
Go out with my friends<br> | |||
I speak French<br> | |||
In a rental with the air conditioning on<br> | |||
On the right side of the road<br> | |||
We get lost<br> | |||
There's a ____ he's a friend<br> | |||
He will show me the right way to go<br> | |||
In my mind<br> | |||
Maybe I'll go see a church<br> | |||
I'll walk up right to the bell tower<br> | |||
and pretend I'm the Hunch Back<br> | |||
I look pretty good,<br> | |||
I haven't changed for years<br> | |||
I have friends<br> | |||
I speak French<br> | |||
Parlez-Vous Francais?<br> | |||
____ Francais | |||
