I saw her dance at the Follies Berger It was very becoming
I shouldn’t have been there I’d wandered in from the Rue Richer
Her movements were stunning For such an average day
It was oh so French So cliché
Like Sweet Sauternes And Crème Brule
Oh so French So pas vu
Like Jean Paul Sartre/Albert Camus
I asked her if she might have the time
To shoot the breeze
And take a glass of wine
No, no she said but she wasn’t unkind
With that beautiful accent
How could I ever mind
‘Cos she was oh so French
So passé
Like Crème de Menthe
And Chatelet
It was oh so French
De rigueur
Like Batobus
And Croque Monsieur
