[E] [A]
[Em] [F]
[D] [E] I [Em] have a friend who [F] is famous in France, [Dm] [E]
though he's not quite that well known [Am] over here.
It's hard to [Em] explain [F] what he does there in [Dm] France, [E] but it certainly [F] keeps him in beer.
[A] When he walks down the street, [G] they [F] call Jean [Dm] Zelizay.
All [G] the folks treat him like [C] he's Marie Chavolier.
When he [D] goes in a [E] bar, he gets [A] free [Em] [Eb] Cabernet.
[Em] [C] It [Em] pays to be famous [C] in France.
[B] [E]
[C] Famous in [G] France?
Well, [F] then, French [Dm] fries are free.
[E]
Or snails or Dijon, as you [A] prefer.
And French kisses, [Em] of course, [F] happen so constantly.
[A] [E] Soon your tongue can't pronounce [F] ends of word.

Yellow subtitles [F] under each thing you say.
[A] [G] They put you on stamps, dressed [C] up in funny ways.
A [D] toga, [E] a spear, [A] a gauze, a beret.

Brigitte Bardot, and [Eb] you.
[Em] That's [C] a [G] clue that you're famous [C] in France.
[B] [Ab] When [E] my friend's life [G] is over, [F] they'll play [Dm] Massaye.
[E] Arthur Kitt sings [A] S'est Si Bon.

[Cm] [E]
[C] Fragile.
[Fm]
[C] Dominique, [F] they'll say, [C] c'est la vie.
[E] Mon [A] [C] [Am] ami,

Fifi.

Il est fini.

Thank you.
It's certainly been a pleasure playing for you all.

That was my last song, but I've done so well.

I used to leave the stage, but it's so iffy.
