Jimmy Buffett - A Frenchman For The Night lyrics

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
