Frenchy Boy

by Romain Gutsy

/

about

The song has been written and produced by Romain and Marc Bentel. It’s an folk release with a very organic sounding, a narrative based song which tells a story like: What if you were a Frenchy Boy and the expectations of your American girlfriend were way above reason, and full of clichés... And what if yourself, you’d have interiorized all these clichés about Americans expectations and wrote a song about it? That’s what Frenchy Boy is, an anthem for all cliches and for all Frenchy boys of the world!
But above all that, this song is a must, and features of course Romain’s warm, raspy, distinctive and authentic voice, some nice accordion and a folksy production that wraps it all up.

lyrics

You thought I would be the most romantic guy, that love would be full of roses
You thought I’d have a terrible accent but that I would be a wonderful lay
Then you realized my accent was fairly OK, and that it was not that which was terrible, hey!
And you asked yourself what’s wrong with him, and why do I still have a crush

Cause I’m a Frenchy boy, yes I’m a Frenchy boy,
I’m a Frenchy boy, yes I’m a Frenchy boy,
Yes I know

You though I would declaim some Lamartine’s and write as Honore de Balzac
It’s true that I think I am a poet, but some poets say I’m a fraud
I think I’m a thinker, you think I’m an intellectual
And you ask yourself with fear, does he really believe in God

Cause I’m a Frenchy boy, yes I’m a Frenchy boy,
I’m a Frenchy boy, yes I’m a Frenchy boy,
Yes I know

You saw in the morn that I woke up brilliant, but you don’t dig any of my best funny jokes
And I know I won’t be the wizard of your dreams, but you know I am not the usual funny folk
In the dark, in the gloom, I said I’d be your light, and it’s as it is, not so shiny, not so shy
And I swear to the sky and to my dead mother that I won’t let you down, that I won’t let you cry

Cause I’m a Frenchy boy, yes I’m a Frenchy boy,
I’m a Frenchy boy, yes I’m a Frenchy boy,
Yes I know
