about

A not-so-serious song based on an ad in a current affairs magazine. I recorded it because it makes my friend and pianist Susanna laugh. Pjotr really got into the spirit of things on flute.

lyrics

Eighteenth Century French chateau
In the heart of Calvados, Normandy, France
Set within twelve acres of walled parkland

Château in Normandy, France, for sale
Château in Normandy for sale

The chateau has nine bedrooms,
Eight bathrooms, four living rooms
With listed hand-painted angels
They'll watch you and judge you
While you're drinking brandy

Château in Normandy, France, for sale
Château in Normandy for sale

Additionally, there are numerous outbuildings
Including a four-bedroom guest cottage
It's perfect for stashing the family away

Château in Normandy, France, for sale
Château in Normandy for sale

The property is surrounded by fields
Vincent Van Gogh would have liked it here
(But he couldn't afford it)
2.5 hours from Paris
(Step on the gas)
Forty minutes away from international airports
(Bon voyage!)
