Al Stewart - French Laundry



King Louie never had it so good

He lived like royalty should

He was winin', dinin'

Taking in the French laundry"



No revolution's gonna keep me awake."

Marie said "Just let them eat cake"

I'm going winin', dinin'

Taking in the French laundry



A corner table lit by candlelight

A chardonnay to whet our appetite

I can live here all of my life

So smile when you eat

Taking in the French laundry



While the troops where at Waterloo

Bone' said "What I really wanna do

Is go winin', dinin'

Taking in the French laundry"



A croissant and a glass of milk

Louis Pasteur was a lousy cook

He went winin', dinin'

Taking in the French laundry



A corner table lit by candlelight

A chardonnay to whet our appetite

I can live here all of my life

So smile when you eat

Taking in the French laundry



With an easel and splash of paint

Monet and Manet they just couldn't wait

They went winin', dinin'

Taking in the French laundry



While Gigi cried "Viva la France!"

DeGaulle smiled and asked her to dance

They went winin', dinin'

Taking in the French laundry



They went winin', dinin', taking in the French laundry

Winin', dinin', taking in the French laundry

Winin', dinin', taking in the French

Winin', dinin', taking in the French laundry
