I met a girl named Gabrielle
She was dressed in black and young as hell
She took me to her domicile
Invited me to stay a while
She fed me breakfast and fed me wine
And later on we took the time
To explore each others areas
Run into a language barrier
It can be so frustrating
The way we insist on communicating
But I do not parley-vous you
I don t speak French
But somehow I ve gotten on her good side
Oh! I don t speak French
But there s only one thing on her mind.
Oh I.
Voulez-vous mon ami
Bonsoir, baby
Is all I know how to say right now
But you can bet I m learning how
Cos where I m from the thing to do
Is to paint yourself red, white and blue
How about you?
Can you say you do the same thing too
I m just your average Yankee
Trapped in a world of French hanky-panky
But I do not parlez-vous you
I don t speak French
But I ve got a shit load of Euros
Oh I! I don t speak French
But that doesn t matter to French girls.
Oh I. Come on!
There s a plane on the ground at JFK
For me it waits
To carry me away to you
The things we did
The things we didn t do
Oh Gabrielle
I learnt so much from you
You taught me how to surrender
Instinctual behavior from a time you don t remember
But thank God the allies crushed the Nazis on the 6th of November
I don t speak French
But somehow I ve gotten on a good time
Oh I! I don t speak French
But there s only one thing on her mind.
Oh yeah! I don t speak French
But that doesn t matter to French girls
Oh I! I don t speak French
Cos it s useless most places in the world.
