Parlez Bas

Excusez-moi, monsieur; parlez anglais?
Oh, that's much better. Thanks. The French out here...
Bonjour monsieur...they're uppity, I say,
They think we ought to...well, it's kinda queer.
Non, s'il vous plaƮt, c'est le votre...they tell
Us what to do, they think they own the place
When just a little while ago - oh hell,
A month ago, I'd say it to his face
Their leader was a...non, non, pas le mien...
A no-account, a busybody. Now?
He's everything, and we must...bien, bien...
We must obey him, as if he somehow
Were made a god. And we'll be sent away
If anyone knows we parlez anglais.
