FRENCH PEOPLE

(c)2026 David Lefkowitz

(Sung to the melody of Randy Newman’s “Short People”)

French people got no reason
French people got no reason
French people got no reason to live.

They got that pompous bearing we all dislike
They don’t do no work, yet they’re always on strike

They eat stinky cheese and get garlic breath
They led a million Africans to their death

No I don’t want no French people
Don’t want no French people
Don’t want no snail eaters `round here.

French people are just a bit cold-hearted
Oh, don’t get me started
Their feelings should not be disregarded
I think they’re retarded


French people got no ethics
French people got no morals
French people they just quarrel with you

You know, they tormented Dreyfus for being a Jew
They were the Germans’ bitches in World War II

They put cheese on chicken, wine on beef
They got stuck-up noses, and fucked-up teef

They got unshaven armpits and drink old wine
They hate Americans, and that’s just fine

Well, I don’t want no French people
Don’t want no frog people
Don’t want no French people `round here.
