"French"

In college, I had a very pretty French teacher. In one class, she made the mistake of mentioning sunbathing topless on the beach in Nice. For the remainder of the class, all the males in attendance were lost in a bit of fantasizing.

French

I saw you on the screen; you were taking your clothes off again

I think I’ve seen more of you than I have my closest friend

I saw you in my dream; you were in my bed

Wish that I could find you in my waking hours instead

But there's a barrier in our way; I can’t understand a word you say

Teach me French – teach me everything I need to know

Teach me how to touch you, how to love you

Make it comme il faut

If you teach me French, I’ll want to practice everyday

You’ll be my instructor and I’ll be your protégé

There has to be a way to tell you how I feel

First I’ve got to reach you; that could be quite an ordeal

Then once we’re face to face, I’ll know just what to say

Cause there’s a certain language I am certain vous parlez

My kiss will tell you everything and won’t require translating

Teach me French – teach me everything I need to know

Teach me how to touch you, how to love you

Make it comme il faut

If you teach me French, I’ll want to practice everyday

You’ll be my instructor and I’ll be your protégé

L’amour, je t’adore

Saying it makes me wish I could say more

L’amour, je t’adore

A foreign body to explore

Je ne parle pas francais, but I love you anyway

And don’t I sound as distingue as Maurice Chevalier?

Tear down the barricade, strike the fence

Let the tutoring commence

Teach me French – teach me everything I need to know

Teach me how to touch you, how to love you

Make it comme il faut

If you teach me French, I’ll want to practice everyday

You’ll be my instructor and I’ll be your protégé
