J'suis snob

Boris Vian Boris Vian

I'm Snobby

I'm snobby... I'm snobby
It's really the only flaw I swallow
It takes months of hard work
It's a life of struggle
But when I go out with her on my arm
I'm proud of the result
I'm snobby... Damn snobby
All my friends are
We're snobs and it's good
Organdy shirts, zebu shoes
Italian tie and a damn old suit
A ruby on the foot... not that one
Nails all black and a very pretty little handkerchief
I go to the cinema to watch Swedish films
And I go to the bar to drink whiskey nonstop
I don't have a liver ache, no one does that anymore
I have an ulcer, it's less common and more expensive
I'm snobby... I'm snobby
My name is Patrick, but they call me Bob
I ride horses every morning
Because I love the smell of manure
I only hang out with baronesses
With names like trombones
I'm snobby... Extremely snobby
And when I talk about love
It's all naked in the courtyard
We gather with friends
Every Friday, to have snobby parties
There's coke, we hate that
And camembert that we eat with a small spoon
My apartment is really charming
I heat myself with diamonds, you can't dream of anything hotter
I had a TV, but it bored me
I turned it around... the other side is exciting
I'm snobby... I'm snobby
I'm ravaged by this bug
I have accidents in a Jaguar
I spend August in bed
It's in the little details like that
That you're snobby or not
I'm snobby... Even snobbier than before
And when I'm dead
I want a Dior shroud!
