When you're a French director, it seems la vie est belle
Women say “oui, ” they long to be, top of the bill, oh well
When you're a French director, you're an auteur as well
What does that mean?
Every scene must be obscure as hell
When you're a French director
You never smile, what's the deal?
Hollywood guys, with their CGI eyes smile
But their films lack “le feel”

When you're a French director
Un César, do you really care?
You can't admit it
But you could fit it
Right on that shelf, over there
When you're a French director
You know la vie est belle
Women say “oui, ” they long to be, top of the bill
oh merde
