Frenchman For The Night - Jimmy Buffett

From his driftwood castle

Comes a song I’ve heard before

A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone

«La Vie En Rose» arpeggios

So the dream begins

And the song is amplified

Buy the Beaujolais, on Bastille day

He dances in the tide

By the light of the moon

He’s a Frenchman for the night

By the light of the moon

It’ll be all right

Well it takes him back

To the days of love and war

And the girl he knew with eyes of blue

Waiting on the shore

If he’d only known

How the years would fly on by

Such a simple crime, he’s run out of time

So he reaches for the sky

Blame it on the Champs Elysees

Blame it on a tune

Blame it on the stroke of Monet

But you can’t escape the moon

He sees the stars above

As the floor to heavens light

While the angels taunt «C'est une nuit blanche»

He’s a Frenchman for the night

From a driftwood castle

Comes a song I’ve heard before

A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone

«La Vie En Rose» arpeggios
