Hearing It In French    (SNW 905)   Wil Stans   (Eddy Raven)

 

OPENER
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

I met her down in Baton Rouge - about a year ago

We were listening to a band - that played in Zydeco

I finally got the nerve up to say - dance with me

My knees turned to butter when she answered “c’est la vie”!
FOUR BOYS PROMENADE - my love - just tell me “Au Revoir”

TURN THRU – ALLEMANDE LEFT you SWING and PROMENADE
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch

Everything sounds better when you’re hearing it in French

 

 

FIGURE

HEADS SQUARE THRU now - FOUR HANDS around you do

‘round the Corner  Lady DO SA DO – one time you know

SWING THRU and then – you SPIN THE TOP so neat

Without a stop a RIGHT AND LEFT THRU and turn the girl you meet

You SQUARE THRU THREE hands – around you go

SWING and whirl that pretty little Girl and PROMENADE her too

She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch

Everything sounds better when you’re hearing it in French

 

 

MIDDLE BREAK
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

I don’t recall - what she said to me that night

It never really mattered - ‘cause she made it all sound right

When the night was over - she was gone - like cajun smoke

I still recall the language of the angels that she spoke
FOUR BOYS PROMENADE - my love - just tell me “Au Revoir”

TURN THRU – ALLEMANDE LEFT you SWING and PROMENADE
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch

Everything sounds better when you’re hearing it in French

 

 

CLOSER
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

Every chance I get - I take the ride to Baton Rouge

And stopping down at Zydeco’s - I hear a song or two

If she’s ever in there boys - get out of my way

I’ve got a few more phrases - that I’d love to hear her say
FOUR GIRLS PROMENADE - my love - just tell me “Au Revoir”

TURN THRU – ALLEMANDE LEFT you SWING and PROMENADE
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch

Everything sounds better when you’re hearing it in French

Original Lyrics:

 

I met her down in Baton Rouge about a year ago

We were listening to a band that played a place called Zydeco

I finally got the nerve up to say come dance with me

And my knees turned to butter when she answered “c’est la vie”

 

Don’t say goodbye my love just tell me “aurevoir”

Don’t say goodnight just let me hear “mon cher bonsoir”

She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch

‘Cause everything sounds better when you’re hearing it in French

 

I don’t recall a lot of what she said to me that night

It never really mattered cause she made it all sound right

When the night was over she was gone like cajun smoke

I still recall the language of the angels that she spoke

 

Now every chance I get I take the ride to Baton Rouge

And stopping down at Zydeco’s I hear a song or two

If she’s ever in there boys just get out of my way

I’ve got a few more phrases that I’d love to hear her say
