Vive La France Oui 🇫🇷

entry picture

Tuesday July 14 what's the word
It's bastille day haven't you heard
In Paris a celebration to see
Vive La France oui
237 years of  freedom and history  
Liberty equality and fraternity 
Vive La France oui

In 1789 it was time for a revolution 
Storming the bastille was the solution
The bourbon monarchy retribution 
Vive La France oui
A nation is born for all to see
The road to salvation and victory
Vive La France oui

Fly the tricolour red white and blue
Celebrate without further ado
A parade down the Champs-Élysées ensue
Vive La France oui 
Fireworks they light up the sky
"Bonne fête nationale" we cry
Vive La France oui 

Vive La France 
mon dieu monsieur
magnifique madame
Vive La France

Mais oui, Tom. As someone who is partial to cheese -a well ripened Camembert being my favourite- I'm inclined to agree with you. About time the UK had some Liberty Equality, and Fraternity, but that's only for the rich.
