[Verse 1]
When you're a French director
It seems la vie est belle
Women say “oui,” they long to be
Top of the bill, oh well

[Verse 2]
When you're a French director
You're an auteur as well
What does that mean?
Every scene must be obscure as hell (as hell)

[Verse 3]
When you're a French director
You never smile, what's the deal?
Hollywood guys, with their CGI eyes smile
But their films lack “le feel” (le feel)

[Verse 4]
When you're a French director
Un César, do you really care?
You can't admit it but you could fit it
Right on that shelf, over there

[Verse 5]
When you're a French director
You know la vie est belle
Women say “oui,” they long to be
Top of the bill, oh merde
[Chant]
