When everything goes wrong, when life goes wrong
try for a little French song
French songs are maybe old-fashioned but so sweet to hum
French songs are tender à l'envi, nostalgic to infinity
And when we no longer know where to belong
try for a little French song
French songs will take you to Paris, to Pigalle or I'Ãle Saint -Louis
French song are dancing in the rain, from Bastille to the Tuileries
Because we have what to show off: we have Brassens, Brel and Ferré
We have Boris Vian, Barbara, Gainsbourg, Trenet, Prévert, Kosma
Because we have plenty to choose from we have Aznavour, Reggiani,
Bécaud, Nougaro, Moustaki, Ãdith Piaf Cioclo and Johnny
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Of course it's not Duke Ellington
It's not EIvis or Jackson
It's not Fitzgerald or Armstrong
C 'is just a little French song
Mais when Ie chagrin remains too Iong
I sing a little French song
Because we have what to show off: we have Brassens, Brel and Ferré
We have Boris Vian, Barbara, Gainsbourg, Trenet, Prévert, Kosma
Because we have plenty to choose from we have Aznavour, Reggiani,
Bécaud, Nougaro, Moustaki, Edith Piaf Cloclo and Johnny
Yes, yes, yes, yes
And whether we are from London or Hong Kong, whether we are three sheets
or shu-bang
Whether we are djellabah or sarong, try for a little French song
When the bad guys ring their gong
I sing a little French song
