Wannabe

 

 

I wanna ban a burger bar

I wanna claim the street

I wanna man a barricade

I wanna movie shot off-beat

I wanna sit-in at a uni

I wanna crack that tu and vous     

I wanna bike with onions     

I wanna find a billet doux    

I wanna 2 hour 10 course lunch

I wanna speak so cool

I wanna champers with fine foam

I wanna need to win at boulle

I wanna prance in haute couture

I wanna learn that Gallic shrug

I wanna be existential

I wanna kiss both sides of your mug

I wanna steal some savoir faire

I wanna relish cheese with stench

I wanna diss all government

I wanna be more French
