Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Dm][Gm][C][Bb][C]
[G][Am][G]
I'm not the [Am]bright[Bb]est crayon

[Verse 1]
[Am]in the b[G]ox[Gm][G]
Everyone [Am]says I'm [Bb]dumber than
a [Am]bag of r[G]ocks[Gm][Bb][C]
I barely even [Bb]know how to
[C]put on my own pants
[D]But I'm a genius in [G]France (ye[C]ah), genius in [D]France,
genius [G]in France

[Verse 2]
[G]
Hoom chaka laka
Hoom chaka laka
Hoom chaka

[Verse 3]
I may not [Am]be the s[Bb]harpest
[Am]hunk of [G]cheese[Gm][Bb]
[Gm]I got [G]a nega[Am]tive num b[Bb]er
[Am]on m[Gm]y SAT[Bb]s[C]
I'm not good [Bb]looking and [C]I don't
know how to [F]dance
But never[Gm]theless and in [Dm]spite of the [Bb]evid
ence I am still widely considered to [Dm]be
A genius [G]in France, a [C]genius [D]in France,
a genius [G]in France
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
[F]People [G]say [F]I'm a geek,
a mor[G]onic [F]little freak
An an[G]noying [Dm]pips[G]queak with
an unfortunate [Gm]physique
If [G]I was any d[Dm]umber,
[F]the[G]y'd have t[F]o water me twice [Bb]a week[C]
[D]But when the Mademois

[Verse 5]
[Dm]elles [G]see me,
they [C]all swoon [D]and shriek
They [Dm]dig my [G]mystique,
they say I'm [C]c'est mag[D]nifique
When I'm in [G]Par- ee,
I'm the [C]chic- est of the chic
They [D]love my

[Verse 6]
[Dm]body [G]odor
and my [C]bad [D]toupee
They love my [Dm]stripey [G]shirt
and [C]my stupid [D]beret
And when I'm [G]sipping [D]on a [Am]Per [D]rier[G]
In some café town in [Am]St. Tropez
[D]It's

[Verse 7]
[G]hard to kee[D]p the fan[Am]s at bay[D]
They say, [G]"Sign my [Gm]poodle,
[G]s'i[Gm]l vou[C]s plait"
"Sign [G]my [Gm]poodle,
[G]s'il [Gm]vous [C]plai[Bb]t"
Hemenene humenene
himenene homenene

[Interlude 1]
Poodle, poodle
[C][Bb][C][G][Gm]
[G][Gm]

[Verse 8]
Folks in [G]my hometown think I'm a fool
[C]Got [Gm]too much c[G]hlorine in my gene pool
[C]A few

[Verse 9]
[G]peas short of a c[A]asser[C]ole
A [G]few buttons miss[A]ing on
[Bb]my rem[C]ote cont[D]rol
A [G]few fries [A]short of [Bb]a hap[C]py meal
[G]I couldn't pour wa[Bb]ter out of a b[C]oot
with in[Dm]structions on the [G]heel
In[C]structions on the

[Verse 10]
[C#]heel[D]
In[C]struc[Bb]tions on [C]the [G]heel
[C]But when

[Verse 11]
I'm in [Bb]Provence,
I get [C]free [Bb]croissants
Yeah, [C]I'm [Bb]the guy every
[C]French [Bb]lady wants
And if you [F]ask 'em why,
you're [C]bound to get this [G]response
(He's a genius in France,
genius in France)

[Verse 12]
That's right [G](He's a
genius in France,
genius in France)
You know it
(He's a [F]genius [G]in France,
[C]genius [D]in France, genius [G]in France)
I'm not the [Am]brightest bulb

[Verse 13]
[Bb]on the
[Am]Christmas [G]tree[Gm][Bb][G]
But the [Am]folks [Bb]in France,
they don't [Am]seem to [G]agree[Gm]
[C]They say, "Bonjour,
[Bb]Monsieur would you [C]take ze picture with me?"
[F]I say,

[Verse 14]
"Oui, [G]oui"[Gm][G]
That's right, [Dm]I say, [F]"Oui, [G]oui"
[F]"Oui, [G]oui"
He says, [F]"Oui, [G]oui"

[Verse 15]
I'm [C]dumber [Am]than [C]a bo[Am]x of [C]hair
But [Am]those [C]Frenchies [Am]don't
[C]seem to care
Don't know [F]why, [G]mon frere
But they [Eb]love [F]me there

[Verse 16]
I'm a [C]genius in France

[Verse 17]
Yeah, I'm a genius in France
[F]
Gonna make a big [Eb]splash when I
show up in Can[F]nes[Eb][G]
Gonna make those [F]Frenchies scream
"You [C]ze [G]man, you ze man, you ze man"
Like a fine [C]Renoir

[Verse 18]
(wah), I've got
that je ne c'est quoi (quoi)
Like a fine Renoir (ooh la la),
I've [Eb]got that [C]je ne c'est
Quoi quoi quoi quoi [Dm]quoi, oo- we- oo

[Verse 20]
I'm a [C]taco short of a [D]combo plate
But [F]by some twist of fate,
all the Frog[G]s think I'm great
Oh, the [E]men all faint and
[F#]the women scream
They [A]like me more than [B]heavy cream

[Verse 21]
When I'm [Ab]in Versailles,
I'm a [Bb]popular guy
My oh [C#]my, I'm as French as
[Eb]apple pie (apple pie)
They think I'm [Ab]awfully witty,
a [Ab]riot and a [F#]half
[Eb]When I [Ab]tell a stupid [F#]joke,
[C#]they laugh (haw haw haw haw haw)
And [B]laugh (haw [C]haw haw

[Verse 22]
haw haw haw)
[F]People [Eb]in France have lots of attitude
[C#]They[F]'re snotty and r[Eb]ude,
they like disgusting [C#]food
But [F]when they [Eb]see me,
they just come unglued
They think that I am one
happening [Bb]dude
[D]Bowm ba ba bowm ba bowm ba

[Verse 23]

I'm about as [G]sharp as a [C]bowling [D]ball
But they like [G]me better than

[Verse 24]
Entre [F]nous, [Bb]it's [C]very true
[D]The room tem[Gm]perature[F]'s
[Bb]higher [C]than [D]my IQ
But they [G]love [Gm]me m[Bb]ore than
[C]Gerard [D]De [Eb]pardieu
How did this [D]happen? I
don't have [Dm]a clue

[Verse 25]
[Gm]Well, I'm not the quickest
tract[Bb]or on the f[Gm]arm[Bb][C]
[Gm]I don't have any skills or
[Bb]grace [C]or cha[Gm]rm[Dm][F][C]
And most people look [Bb]at me
like [C]I'm all covered with ants
[D]But I'm a genius in Fra[G]nce (ye[C]ah), genius in [D]France,
[C]genius in [G]France

And I'm nev[C]er [G]goin' back,

I'm [C]never [F]goin' [A]back

[Verse 28]
[D]The girls back hom[C]e never
gave me a [D]chance[C]
But I sho' [D]'nuff got them [C]Frog
s in some kinda [D]trance[C]
And I'm [D]aware that it's [C]a most
[Bb]improbable circumstance
But [A]"Great Googily Moogily", I'm
a genius in France
[D][C][Bb][A][G][F][E]
