Frenchman for the night

>from his driftwood castle
Comes a song Ive heard before
A scratchy grammaphone
Cuts to the bone
La vie en rose arpeggios
So the dream begins
And the song is amplified
Buy the beaujolais
On bastille day
He dances in the tide
Chorus:
By the light of the moon
Hes a frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
Itll be all right
Well it takes him back
To the days of love and war
And the girl he knew
With eyes of blue
Waiting on the shore
If hed only known
How the years would fly on by
Such a simple crime
Hes run out of time
So he reaches for the sky
Chorus:
By the light of the moon
Hes a frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
Itll be all right
Blame it on the champs elysees
Blame it on a tune
Blame it on the stroke of monet
But you cant escape the moon
You cant escape the moon.
He sees the stars above
As the floor to heavens light
While the angels taunt
Cest une nuit blanche
Hes a frenchman for the night.
>from a driftwood castle
Comes a song Ive heard before
Scratchy grammophone
Cuts to the bone
La vie en rose arpeggios
Chorus:
By the light of the moon
Hes a frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
Itll be all right
By the light of the moon
Hes a frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
Itll be all right
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for his "Parrothead" style of music, which blends elements of country, folk, rock, and calypso. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent his childhood in various locations across the United States before settling in Key West, Florida, where he began his musical career in the 1970s. His success is attributed to songs like "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", and "Cheeseburger in Paradise", which made Buffett a cultural icon associated with a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. Besides music, Buffett wrote several novels and non-fiction books, including the bestseller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". His music and personality inspired a large fan base, the "Parrotheads", who celebrate simple living and a love for vacations. Buffett died in 2023 at the age of 76.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
