Little French Song

When everything goes wrong
When life goes wrong
Try for a little French song
French song are maybe outdated
But so sweet humming
French song are tender envy
Nostalgic to infinity

And when we do not know
Wherever to belong
Try for a little French song
French song will take you to Paris
To Pigalle or battery St. Louis
French song are dancing in the rain
Bastille to Tuleries

Because we have of what to show off 
We have Brassens Brel and Ferré 
We have Boris Vian, Barbara 
Gainsbourg, Trenet, Prevert, Cosma 
Because we have of what to choose 
We have Aznavour, Reggiani 
Bécaud, Nougaro, Moustaki 
Edith Piaf and Johnny Cloclo

Yes, yes, yes, yes 
Of course this is not Duke Ellington 
This is not Elvis or Jackson 
This is not Fitzgerald or Armstrong 
This is just a little French song 
But when grief remains too long 
I sing a little French song

Because we have of what to show off 
We have Brassens Brel and Ferré 
We have Boris Vian, Barbara 
Gainsbourg, Trenet, Prevert, Cosma 
Because we have of what to choose 
We have Aznavour, Reggiani 
Bécaud, Nougaro, Moustaki 
Edith Piaf and Johnny Cloclo

Yes, yes, yes, yes 
And that either London or Hong Kong 
That is three sheets or shu-bang 
Whether you jilbab or sarong 
Try for a little French song 
When the wicked sound their gong 
I sing a little French song

Little French Song

Quand tout va mal
When life goes wrong
Try for a little French song
French song are maybe démodées
Mais si douces à fredonner
French song are tender à l'envie
Nostalgique à l'infini

Et quand on ne sais plus
Wherever to belong
Try for a little French song
French song will take you to Paris
To Pigalle ou l'pile saint Louis
French song are dancing sous la pluie
De Bastille aux Tuleries

Because we have de quoi frimer
We have Brassens Brel and Ferré
We have Boris Vian, Barbara
Gainsbourg, Trenet, Prevert, Cosma
Because we have de quoi choisir
We have Aznavour, Reggiani
Bécaud, Nougaro, Moustaki
Edith Piaf, Cloclo and Johnny

Oui, oui, oui, oui
Bien sur ce n'est pas Duke Ellington
Ce n'est pas Elvis ni Jackson
Ce n'est pas Fitzgerald ou Armstrong
C'est just a little French song
Mais quand le chagrin reste too long
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, Prevert, Cosma
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 djellaba ou sarong
Try for a little French song
Quand les méchants sonnent leur gong
Moi je chante une little French song
