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

By the light of the moon

He's a Frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
It'll be all right


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

By the light of the moon

He's a Frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
It'll be all right


From a driftwood castle
Comes a song I've heard before

A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
