Frenchman for the Night

By: Jimmy Buffett, Roger Guth

1994

>From his driftwood castle

Comes a song I've heard before

A scratchy grammaphone

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

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

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

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.

>From a driftwood castle

Comes a song I've heard before

Scratchy grammophone

Cuts to the bone

La vie en rose arpeggios

Chorus:

By the light of the moon

He's a frenchman for the night

By the light of the moon

It'll be all right

By the light of the moon

He's a frenchman for the night

By the light of the moon

It'll be all right
