It's not everyday you find
a country such as France
With her famous opera
And with her famous dance.
Art and haute couture
A soldier's victories
But what made France so very great?
It's cheese, cheese, cheese.
What made France so very great?
It's cheese, cheese, cheese.
Cheese made France what it is today
Not pastries, soup or peas1
Cheese made France what it is today
A big hooray for cheese
A big hooray for cheese!
There's Camembert and Brie
Chèvre and Port Salut
And for a crumbly Roquefort
There is no substitute
With fruit or with baguettes
In “toutes les” recipes
What made France so very great
Cheese, cheese, cheese!
What made France so very great?
It's cheese, cheese, cheese!
Cheese made France what it is today
Not pastries, soup or peas
Cheese made France what it is today
A big hooray for cheese! (2x)
Hooray!
