French African Queen |
I was walking round in Paris |
Near the Zanzibar |
Said the woman at the front door |
«Do you know the place you are? |
This place is from the fancy |
I don’t think you fit the scene |
You’re just an American Black boy |
I’m a French African Queen" |
And she was tall and statuesque |
She looked straight over my puzzled head |
She said «Don't make me get real ugly |
You heard just what I said» |
«I've got music for the people |
I must fulfill my precious dream |
To bring blues from America |
To the French African queen" |
«Ah, oui ou! |
i» |
I was walking round in Paris |
Near the Zanzibar |
Said the woman at the front door |
«Do you know the place you are? |
This place is from the fancy |
I don’t think you fit the scene |
You’re just an American Black boy |
I’m a French African Queen" |
And she was tall and statuesque |
She looked straight over my puzzled head |
She said «Don't make me get real ugly |
You heard just what I said» |
«I've got music for the people |
I must fulfill my precious dream |
To bring blues from America |
To the French African queen" |
«Hear my words were not so different |
Land and language in the way |
We feel the same human feelings |
With different words we say |
We are fruit from the same tree |
I think you know just what I mean» |
«I am your American Black boy |
You’re my French African queen» |
