lyrics

IF YOU TOLD HIM HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL BODY
WOULD HE HOLD IT AGAINST YOU
IF YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT THE KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN
WOULD HE TRY TO PICK A FIGHT?
OH, FRANCINE, FRANCINE
WHEN'D YOUR FELLA GET SO MEAN
OH, FRANCINE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT

IF YOU TOLD HIM THAT YOU LOVED HIM
WOULD HE QUICKLY TELL YOU NOT TO
AND IF YOU TOLD HIM HE WAS ALWAYS YOUR MAN
WOULD HE SAY "WELL, NOT TONIGHT"
OH, FRANCINE, FRANCINE
WHEN'D YOUR FELLA GET SO MEAN
OH, FRANCINE FRANCINE
YEAH, YOUR DESK IS ALWAYS CLEAN
BUT FRANCINE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT

IF YOU TOLD HIM HE WAS KILLING YOU
WOULD HE STOP OR KEEP ON GOING
IF HE BROKE YOUR RIBS AND BRUISED YOUR FACE
WOULD THAT QUENCH IS APPETITE
OH, FRANCINE, FRANCINE
WHEN'D YOUR FELLA GET SO MEAN
OH, FRANCINE, FRANCINE
YEAH, YOUR DESK IS ALWAYS CLEAN
OH, FRANCINE, FRANCINE
YOU'RE A BROKEN HEART MACHINE
AND FRANCINE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
