You've got exactly sixty seconds to think about that stupid question
A baguette doesn't come with a bag
You've got exactly sixty seconds to take back that stupid question
It's called a baguette don't you get it - get it
I'm in love - And I do not speak the language
I'm in love - But I don't understand
I'm in love - But I do not speak the language
When I try to speak the language it comes out sounding like

Here I am - Stupid American
Here I am
Here I am - Stupid American
Here I am


A D                           A D
His heart is Italy...   His kiss is Paris

A D
His body is Brazilian

A D                      A                  A
My heart is....   My heart is...Oklahoma...Oklahoma


You've got exactly sixty seconds to kiss me like a European
One short minute to show me how
You've got exactly sixty seconds to love me like a spy
I've seen those foreign films - do it -do it now
I'm in love - With a man who says "Te amo"
I'm in love - He calls me " Ma petite chou-chou"
I'm in love - And I try to speak the language
But I can't understand a single word he's saying

D      A    Em         G
