ARTIST: David Yazbek

From the musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels


         Cm7                      Ab7  
Would ya look at that coffered ceiling,
C#maj7                F#maj7  
Look at that chandelier.
  Bmaj7
Excuse me but how I'm feeling
     F7  
Is a hundred proof.
        F#7  
I could raise the roof.
       Bmaj7       B6
I'm so happy to be here.


Bb6 
I've been kind of missing
  Bb6/A   Ab6/9 Gsus4    G    
Mom and Daddy,
Cm7          Cm7/B              Cm7/Bb Cm7/F    F   
Sort of in a spin since Cincinatti.
    Bb                Bb7/D  
The morning flight, a major bore
    Eb                 Edim7  
But then they open the cabin door
    Bb6 0
And zoot alors 
F#   F  Bb
Here I am!


B7/F#   

F7   Bb6
Lord knows I had the will
      Bb6/A   Ab5/9 Gsus4    G   
And the resources
    Cm7              Cm7/B   
But Mom and Dad kept saying
              Cm7/Bb Cm7/F    F   
"Hold your horses."
  Bb                Bb7/D  
I guess those poies couldn't wait 
Eb  
Pardon me folks but
        Edim7  
They've left the gate
  Bb6  
I may be late, but
F#   F  Bb     B   Bb
Here I am!


Ah,
    Cm7           Ab9  
The way to be, to me, is French
    Bbm/C#             F#7  
The way they "C'est La Vie" is French
   Bmaj7
So here I am, Beaumont Sur Mer, a
Cm7                  F   F#  F    
Big two weeks on the Rivier a.
Bb6
If I'm only dreaming
A#6A           Ab6/9 Gsus4    G   
Please don't wake me.
Cm7            Cm7/B  
Let the summer sun
               Cm6/Bb Cm7    F   
And breezes take me.
  Bb              Bb7/D  
Excuse me if I seem jejune,
  Eb                     Edim7         Bb6
I promise I'll find my marbles soon but 
Everywhere I look
Bb6                      B7  
It's like a scene from a book.
Bb6  
Open the book and
F#   F  Bb     Bb6
Here I am!


I mean
    Cm7  
The air is French
     Ab9  
That chair is French
     Bbm/C#          F#7  
This nice sincere Sancerre is French
    Bmaj7
The skies are French
                           C7   
The pies are French, those
               F  
Guys are French
                       F#7     B6
These fries are French!
Pardon me if I
      B6/Bb   A6/9 G#sus    Ab   
Fly off the handle,
C#m7             C#m7/C  
No place else on earth
             C#m7/B
Can hold a candle

F#   


    B         B7/Eb  
So, Veni Vidi Vici, folks

Let's face it,
        Fdim7  
Je suis ici, folks!
  B6

If i spout 
    B6  
I'm letting my
                C7  
Je'ne'sais quoi out.
