France Lyrics - Shakedown Street - Grateful Dead

Way down in the south of France all the ladies love to dance 

Kick their heels up in the air snap their fingers for romance 

While the gentlemen compare blonde or black or auburn hair 

Check the motion and the style Oh, you know they take their while 

Hey, to make the motion more complete, yeah, to make it more a treat 

Club D'Jour is where to go come on down and see the show 

When the rhythm's really right you can burn it down tonight 

When the singing's really fine sweet as Spanish sherry wine 

When the club can't contain the beat it just rolls out in the street 

Spills on down the avenue bringing dancers to their feet. 

When it's good as it can be it gets better wait and see 

Oh, these folks don't ever sleep till they're passed out in the street 

Way down in the south of France all the ladies love to dance 

Clap their hands and walk on air, yeah, the feeling's really there 

Won't you take a little taste raise it to your charming face? 

When the rhythm's really right you can burn it down tonight 

When the singing's really fine sweet as Spanish sherry wine 

Go on take a chance, the ladies do love to dance.
