The Lyrics
I wrote this to remember what you say in French when someone asks you how you are.
I walked the streets of Paris, France
And met a handsome gent
And in the way French people do,
He asked me how I went. (*)
Je suis mal, je suis mal, (*)
Je suis mal, je suis ma-a-a-a-a-al
Je suis mal, je suis mal
Just walking down the street
He looked deeply into my eyes
And said, " Well, how is this?"
And in the way French people do,
He gave me a French kiss!
Comme ci, comme ca (*)
Comme ci, comme ca-a-a-a-a-a
Comme ci, comme ca
Merci for that French kiss!
"Are you really doing better, Miss?"
He questioned back to "moi"
And when I did not answer him,
He kissed me, un, deux, trois!
Bien, monsieur, bien monsieur
Bien monsieur, bien monsieu-u-u-u-u-ur
Bien monsieur, Bien monsieur,
J'aime (*) the way you kiss.
I left the streets of Paris, France,
But not for long; you see
I'm no longer a "mademoiselle".
He asked to marry me!
Tres bien, tres bien,
Tres bien, tres bie-e-e-e-e-en
Tres bien, tres bien
He asked to marry me!
And met a handsome gent
And in the way French people do,
He asked me how I went. (*)
Je suis mal, je suis mal, (*)
Je suis mal, je suis ma-a-a-a-a-al
Je suis mal, je suis mal
Just walking down the street
He looked deeply into my eyes
And said, " Well, how is this?"
And in the way French people do,
He gave me a French kiss!
Comme ci, comme ca (*)
Comme ci, comme ca-a-a-a-a-a
Comme ci, comme ca
Merci for that French kiss!
"Are you really doing better, Miss?"
He questioned back to "moi"
And when I did not answer him,
He kissed me, un, deux, trois!
Bien, monsieur, bien monsieur
Bien monsieur, bien monsieu-u-u-u-u-ur
Bien monsieur, Bien monsieur,
J'aime (*) the way you kiss.
I left the streets of Paris, France,
But not for long; you see
I'm no longer a "mademoiselle".
He asked to marry me!
Tres bien, tres bien,
Tres bien, tres bie-e-e-e-e-en
Tres bien, tres bien
He asked to marry me!

A quilbble: literally, it means "how's it going?" va being the third-person present of aller. But this parody goes very well.
Tres bien! Je ne sais pas quoi dire, mais moi suis impressionné ! Je ne parle pas français. C'est la vie!
Très bien.
Das ist sehr gut, aber Ich verstehe nicht deine sprache.
Très sweet!
