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» |
