Frenchette - David Johansen

You call that love in French, but it’s just Frenchette

I’ve been to France, so let’s just dance

I get all the love I need in a luncheonette

In just one glance, so let’s just dance

I can’t get the kind of love that I want

Or that I need, so let’s just dance

You come on like it’s all natural darling

But you know, oh it’s really only naturalette

It’s just like all of your leathers darling, they don’t scare me

I know it’s really only leatherette

I take it down, gonna wash it down

I scrub you on down in any old launderette

I can’t get the kind of love that I want

So let’s just dance, and I’ll forget

Want you to come in my kitchen and not my kitchenette

Want you to come in my dining room, not my dinette yet

I can’t get the kind of love

So let’s just dance and I’ll forget

I can’t get the kind of love that I want or that I need

So let’s just dance

I can’t get the kind of love that I want or that I need

So let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

I said, let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

Remember how we were marveling darling, we were marvelous

Yeah we were marveling at The Marvelettes

We fell in love with Veronica

And every last one of The Ronettes

It sure got hot when Levi Stubbs

He got burned boys

Messing round with Bernadette

You call that love in French but it’s just Frenchette

I’ve been to France, so let’s just dance

I get all the love I need in a luncheonette

In just one glance, so let’s just dance

I can’t get the kind of love that I want

Or that I need, so let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

Let’s just dance

I said let’s just dance

My doctor says to take it easy, baby

So let’s just dance

My doctor said to take it easy, baby

So let’s just dance

Let’s just dance, baby

Let’s just dance

I’m bound to take a little roll with you, honey

So let’s just dance

I’m bound to take a little stroll with you, honey

So let’s just dance

I said let’s just dance

Well, darling, let’s just dance

I said let’s just dance

Come on and let’s just dance

I can’t get the kind of love that I want or that I need

So let’s just dance
