A lot of mayonnaise with your frites

They say that there’s a place in France

Where the naked ladies dance
[ch]Dm7[/ch]             [ch]G7[/ch]          [ch]C[/ch]     [ch]G[/ch]
You can find it if you ask around

And there’s a hole there in the wall
          [ch]E7sus4[/ch]  [ch]E7[/ch]     [ch]Am[/ch]
Where the men can see it all
[ch]Dm7[/ch]               [ch]G7[/ch]
But the men don’t care
             [ch]Dm7[/ch]             [ch]G7[/ch]
Because they chew their underwear

              [ch]Am[/ch]                        [ch]C7[/ch]
Cause there’s not much soap and there’s too much cheese
    [ch]F/C[/ch]            [ch]G[/ch]                  [ch]C[/ch]     [ch]C7[/ch]
And everyone wears clogs and rides on trains
     [ch]F/C[/ch]                    [ch]E[/ch]
Over there they’ll make you regret that you
[ch]Am[/ch]                        [ch]C7[/ch]
Ever saved their asses in World War II
[ch]F/C[/ch]           [ch]Fm[/ch]/[ch]C[/ch]    [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
