Refrain
I’m a Frenchman in Brooklyn
Please come on in
I’m a Frenchman in Brooklyn
Come on in come on in
1.
I love New York The apple of my eye
My own elevator goes to the sky
Now I walk on air no limit
I’m so proud to be part of it
In Gold and competition I trust
Ho la la Ho la la
New York is le paradis
Your success is your identity
You’re here / surely for what you’re worth
It’s heaven on earth
Happy entrepreneur
Blessed are those who dare
Ho la la Ho la la
2.
I hate New York The apple of my ass
No one cares whatever guys have no class
Bloody fake Statute of / Liberty
Enlightening the worst reality
In nature and bonhomie I trust
C’est comme ça C’est comme ça
New York is a cul-de-sac
Filthy Subway horrible big Mac
You’re here ’cause you just need a job
Hysterical mob
Wall Street leads to a wall
There’s not even a golf ball
C’est comm’ ça C’est comme ça
3.
I love Brooklyn The apple of my heart
It rhymes with Claudine how chic and smart
Our dog Hermès adores beauty shops
We chill sipping champagne on rooftops
In start-ups and elegance I trust
Me voilà Me voilà
Brooklyn is so avant-garde
It’s the place where living is an art
You’re here got all you need with love
Ther’s nothing above
At sunset Manhattan
Shines like Manutan
Nous voilà Nous voilà
