The Lyrics

EAU: water--San Pellegrino (Italian), Perrier (French); PAS: not; AQUAVIT (Swedish) [water of life]: caraway-flavored spirit made from potatoes or grain; GREY GOOSE: French vodka?!; MO': Molière; VO': Voltaire; WAVE--The New Wave (Nouvelle Vague), a blanket term coined by critics for a group of French filmmakers of the late 1950s and 1960s; BLAND SWEDE: Ingmar Bergman
Have a haughty Froggy dismiss,
You're impressed by wine, not beer,
And for eau, Pellegrino,
Pas Perrier, it's clear.

Have a haughty frosty dismiss,
No, you won't down Aquavit,
Made from snow-froze potato,
You want Grey Goose, toute de suite.

Mo' wrote the "Misanthrope,"
Vo' composed "Candide."
Once had a "Wave" more new--
Kiss off the bland Swede.

Haute, oisif Gaul Gauloise repas:
[A leisurely haute cuisine, Gaullist meal, during which you smoke Gauloise cigarettes]
Snail and crêpes, goose-liver fare.
Faire faux lire. Folie jolie: longtemps
Depuis Molière.
[It's an attractive delusion, but you're reading it wrong. It's been a long time since the Gallic greats.]
