IntroCGCVerse 1C
I met her down in Baton Rouge about a year ago
G
We were listening to a band that played at a place called Zydeco
FCF
I finally got the nerve up to say come dance with me
CGC
And my knees turned to butter when she answered "C'est la vie"
Chorus
N.C. C
I told her don't say goodbye my love just tell me "Au revoir"
G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
FCF
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch
GC
Cause everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French.
[Riff]
CGCVerse 2C
I don't recall a lot of what she said to me that night
G
It never really mattered cause she made it all sound right
FCF
When the night was over she was gone like cajun smoke
CGC
But I still recall the language of the angels that she spoke
Chorus
N.C. C
I told her don't say goodbye my love just tell me "Au revoir"
G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
FCF
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch
GC
Cause everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French.

Now every chance I get I take the drive to Baton Rouge
G
And stopping down at Zydecos to hear a song or two
FCF
Well, if she's ever in there, boys, just get out of my way
CGC
Cause I got a few more phrases that I'd love to hear her say
Chorus
N.C. C
I'll tell her don't say goodbye my love just tell me "au revoir"
G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
FCF
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch
GC
Cause everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French.
OutroG N.C.
Yeah, everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French
N.C.
Mmm, yeah, that's what I'm saying
