Yes! I'm French

When I came to America, what a land to behold
Oh, so different, so big, and so bold
I was merely a young girl, just ten years old
With a very strong accent, and a rather large nose
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Sing and parle français, won’t you come my way?
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Da-da da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
I was teased at school, and dressed kinda strange
By the time I was in college, I was slightly deranged
Cultural confusion just got worse with time
With age, I say, «To Hell with it,» and I drink lots of wine!
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Sing and parle français, won’t you come my way?
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Da-da da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
Da da-dum, da da-da-da da dum
Da-da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
Da da-dum, da da-da-da da dum
Da-da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
I’m also half-British, confusing but true
Imagine the inner turmoil I went through
When those jokers served up freedom fries
I saw Lady Liberty rolling her eyes
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Sing and parle français, won’t you come my way?
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Da-da da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
Now for a living, I sing and I dance
I traveled the country and soon back to France
For my accent is gone, so sad it makes me
And the worst of it is
I lost it in… New Jersey!
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Sing and parle français, won’t you come my way?
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Da-da da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Sing and parle français, won’t you come my way?
Yes! I’m French, but don’t hold it against me
Da-da da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
Da da-dum, da da-da-da da dum
Da-da-da-da da-da-da dum da dum
Da da-dum, da da-da-da da dum
Da-da-da-da da-da-da dum dum dum!
(One, two, three, four!)
Da, da-da-da-da, da da, da-da-da-da
Da da, da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da-da-da, da da, da-da-da-da
Da da, da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da-da-da, da da, da-da-da-da
Da da, da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da-da-da, da da, da-da-da-da
Da da, da-da-da-da-da, oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Yeah!
Oh là là
