Au Contraire Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

David Bowie came to town, 

Flying overhead. 

"Don't you dig my chops?" he cried.

As it happens, au contraire. 

Au contraire, mon frère. 

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"Don't you think that's true?"

hate to rain on your parade. 

As it happens, au contraire. 

Au contraire, mon frère. 

Jodie Foster held two pair; 

Bach had three of a kind. 

Gandhi said, "With my full house, 

I will blow your mind."

Au contraire, Mahatma. 

Hate to contradict you, but 

As it happens, au contraire. 

Au contraire, yes, au contraire 

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. 

Right on!
