French Class Blues-Chris Sorrenti
French Class Blues
By Chris Sorrenti
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
So bored that I’m sleeping
Trying to write this song
Dreaming of the sun outside
And the day when I’ll be gone
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
I’d like to be a winner
But all I do is lose
Trying to put the words together
A noun a verb an adjective
They’re all the same to me
As they reprogram my classmates
With the passé composé
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
Sitting by the telephone
Waiting for your call
For a little bit of English
To keep from crawling up the wall
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
No I’m not really prejudiced
And I know it’s not nice to complain
I’ve made my home in bilingual Ottawa
So I guess I’ll have to stay
Just wake me up when it’s four o’clock
So I can hit the road
To see my friends and family
Back at the chez moi
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
Il faut que j’aille cinq jours ‘semaine
Et je crois j’ai besoin d’un autre brain
J’aime les gens mais pas leur langue
Mais qu’est-ce que on peut faire
Quand on peut dire rien?
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues
He’s got the French class blues
I’ve got the French class blues…
