Текст песни
They sent me off to learn the tongue
Where every word felt like it sung
Bonjour, bonsoir
Ça va? Oh no
I tripped on vowels
I stubbed my toe
The verbs
The tense
The accents flew
I nodded blank
I had no clue
Mais oui, mais non
That's all I know
A fortune spent
No skills to show
Mais oui, mais non
The tale's a joke
My fluency went up in smoke
The teacher waved her hands so wild
She called me très spécial
Mon child
I held my pen like it was war
The subjunctive please, je t'implore
My parents dreamed I'd tour Paris
Instead I bought croissants with glee
Mais oui, mais non
That's all I know
The Eiffel dreams
They let me go
Mais oui, mais non
The cash was spent
On years of lessons I resent
Ooh la la la
Mais oui
Mais non
That's all I know
La la la
Mais oui
Mais non
Mais oui
Mais non
That's all I know
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
