Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty "Nice Fighting You" album 2014 Marin Mazzie - Speaking French Lyrics
(Song from "Lucky Stiff" musical Speaking French Lyrics)
And now, monsieur, dames The moment you have all been waiting for The moment when France unveils another of her wonders She sings like a bird! She looks like a dream! And she don't just can-can, she will-will! Monsieur, Dames, I give you that international bonbon! Dominique du Monaco!
Bon soir! Les dames et les monsieur Comment ca va? Ca va bien? What? You don't speak French?
What is love if you don't speak French? Mon cherie you don't stand a chance here. Come with me, you will see The way we do things in the south of France dear You can say all you want to say With one basic lesson I know Use your lips. Use your ribs, like so. Like so. Like so!
When you say ooh, ooh, ooh, I answer ah, ah, ah. You whisper ooh la, la, and I go- Then you say mm, mm, mm, and I go ah, ah, ah And then you're speaking French
Bonjour Henry Witherspoon! You know me? I am your surprise!
I don't care how it's done in Rome, Or in Oklahoma or Nome dear S'il vous plait, parle francaise You'll fall in love and you may not go home dear
Vous parle cher, is a savoir faire If you dare to try something new Come, my dear volunteer, won't you? No, I couldn't possibly. Won't you? I can't dance Yes you!
When you say ooh, ooh, ooh, you answer ah, ah, ah? I whisper ooh la, la, which causes- Bong? and we say mm, mm, mm, and then it's ah, ah, ah And look we're speaking
Stop! Moment, s'il vous plait. There is someone here tonight who is not joining in. Someone who is alone. What is it cherie? Why so sad? Has your lover deserted you? Have too many lovers trampled on your heart? May I have a blue spotlight please? Thank you I myself have walked the solitary boulevards Of life beaucoups des jours. Just like you, so alone. Sans l'amour Ah to go searching for l'amour among the boulevards Of life is not a crime. As I told, that jeune damme, at the time I spoke French, lucky me. So did he.
I said-- and he said- And I said- which led to- And then we mm, mm, mm and then we ah, ah, ah No wonder I love French Everybody! Ooh, ooh, ooh Then you say Ah, ah, ah Then we say Ooh la,la Then we go I love that Ooh, ooh, ooh Ah, ah, ah And now you're speaking French!
