Some say French people
Live off love and fresh wine
And that all the girls here
Live in Paris Casino
Some think that champagne
Flows from Notre-Dame gargoyles
And that between two Alka-Seltzers
We live half-naked
If you listen to them, you would think
That we're hammered every morning
But I live in France
And France is not what everyone says it is
If French people sometimes complain
It's not about hangover
Paris is for sure in France
But France is also a country
Where there're but fifty millions idiots
Some think our music
Rocks like a beer from Munich
That all our female dancers are classy
But do not swing in rhythm
Some say that there's likely
A couple of cafés per inhabitants
That our tunes are marching bands
Our hits are drinking song
If you listen to them, you would think
That France lacks musicians
But I live in France
And France is not what everyone says it is
If French people sometimes complain
It's not about hangover
Paris is for sure in France
But France is also a country
Where there're not fifty millions idiots
Some think, and that's for sure
That French people stand up for themselves pretty well
All the women are here to confirm
That we make them die of pleasure
If you listen to them, you would believe
That only French people do it well
{x2}
That's why I live in France
France is much better than everyone says it is
If they dream to leave at my place
That's for a reason
