King Louie never had it so good
He lived like royalty should
He was winin', dinin'
Taking in the French laundry"

No revolution's gonna keep me awake."
Marie said "Just let them eat cake"
I'm going winin', dinin'
Taking in the French laundry

A corner table lit by candlelight
A chardonnay to whet our appetite
I can live here all of my life
So smile when you eat
Taking in the French laundry

While the troops where at Waterloo
Bone' said "What I really wanna do
Is go winin', dinin'
Taking in the French laundry"

A croissant and a glass of milk
Louis Pasteur was a lousy cook
He went winin', dinin'
Taking in the French laundry

A corner table lit by candlelight
A chardonnay to whet our appetite
I can live here all of my life
So smile when you eat
Taking in the French laundry

With an easel and splash of paint
Monet and Manet they just couldn't wait
They went winin', dinin'
Taking in the French laundry

While Gigi cried "Viva la France!"
DeGaulle smiled and asked her to dance
They went winin', dinin'
Taking in the French laundry

They went winin', dinin', taking in the French laundry
Winin', dinin', taking in the French laundry
Winin', dinin', taking in the French
Winin', dinin', taking in the French laundry
