[Verse 1]
David Bowie came to town
Flying overhead
"Don't you dig my chops?" he cried
This is what they said

[Chorus]
Au contraire, Dave
Quite the opposite, in fact
As it happens, au contraire
Au contraire, mon frère

[Verse 2]
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Knew not what to do
"This tie clashes with my hat," he cried
"Don't you think that's true?"

[Chorus]
Au contraire, Delano
Hate to rain on your parade
As it happens, au contraire
Au contraire, mon frère

[Verse 3]
Jodie Foster held two pair
Bach had three of a kind
Gandhi said, "With my full house
I will blow your mind"
[Chorus]
Au contraire, Mahatma
Hate to contradict you, but
As it happens, au contraire
Au contraire, yes, au contraire

[Chorus]
And au contraire, you square
Wash that notion from your hair
If you're still there, I must declare:
Au contraire, mon très bon frère

[Outro]
Right on!
