Au Contraire

David Bowie came to town

Flying overhead

"Don't you dig my chops?" he cried

This is what they said

Au contraire, Dave

Quite the opposite, in fact

As it happens, au contraire

Au contraire, mon frare

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Knew not what to do

"This tie clashes with my hat," he cried

"Don't you think that's true?"

Au contraire, Delano

Hate to rain on your parade

I need to tell you au contraire

Au contraire, mon frare

Jodie Foster held two pair

Bach had three of a kind

Gandhi said, "With my full house,

I will blow your mind!"

Au contraire, Mahatma

Hate to contradict you, but

As it happens, au contraire

Au contraire, yes au contraire

And au contraire, you square

Wash that notion from your hair

If you're still there, I must declare

That au contraire, mon tras

Bon frae

Right on!
