Lyrics[]

Francis Mitterrand, do you have the heater on?
Francis Mitterrand, do you have the heater on?
Francis Mitterrand, do you have the heater on?

He's in France, he's a country in France
He's a god and oh can he dance
He has sex when the lights are down low
There's one thing I just gotta know

Francis Mitterrand, do you have the heater on?
Francis Mitterrand, do you have the heater on?

Shows love for the people he rules
He knows French, diplomatically cool
He has sex every hour of the day
There's one thing I really wanna say

Francis Mitterrand, do you have the heater on? 
Francis Mitterrand, do you have the heater on?
