Feel Like a Frenchman Blues

Woke up this morning
Felt as sad I can be
I was tired and bored and dissatisfied
You could say I was feeling ennui

Sometimes I want to say farewell
Give everybody my adieus
Lord I've never been so lowdown
I've got the 'feel like a Frenchman' blues

Whenever a party starts, I just want to leave
I don't enjoy my life any more, I've lost my joie de vivre

You know I just don't care what people do or say
I feel like I've seen it all before, it makes me so blasé

I've got a vague lowdown feeling that's got me in a haze
You might call it the blues, but me, I call it malaise

I can't find my comfort zone
I'm a man without milieus
Lord I've never been so lowdown
I've got the 'feel like a Frenchman' blues
