Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh Julie took off for a term,
To France where she could twist and squirm,
On cobblestone streets with her croissant delight,
While we were just marking through Monday night.

She sipped her café by the Seine,
Tried to forget kids’ drama and pain.
But now she’s back — oh sacré bleu!
And guess who she’s filling in for too?

[Chorus]
🎵 Bonjour Julie! Welcome back,
Here’s a giant inbox stack!
The head’s away, you’re next in line,
So drop that brie and clock in on time!

Take the reins, oui oui madame,
There’s a kid stuck in the toilet jam!
The Wi-Fi’s down, the printer’s fried,
Oh Julie, what a welcome ride! 🎵

[Verse 2]
Her scarf was silk, her days were slow,
Now it’s yard duty and “Don’t eat the glue!”
No more baguettes, just lunchroom smells,
And thirty-seven unexcused bells.

She mastered French, she said “Parfait!”
Now she’s mastering “Not today!”
The P.A. screams “Emergency!”
And someone drew on the smartboard screen.

[Chorus]
🎵 Bonjour Julie! C’est la vie!
Hope you liked your break, mon ami!
Now grab the megaphone and your latte,
You’re the captain of this school parfait!

There’s a bee in the drama room,
The choir kids caused a sonic boom.
And don’t forget the parent chat,
Who thinks we teach too much of that. 🎵

[Bridge – Dramatic French Interlude]
(Accordion solo with dramatic sighs and a “Zut alors!” or two)
Julie dreams of French pâté…
But instead it’s chicken nuggets day.
She longs for the Louvre’s grand art…
Now she’s cleaning glitter off a chart.

[Final Chorus]
🎵 Bonjour Julie! Back you go,
With your clipboard and your fresh Bordeaux glow!
From croissants to chaos, très très vite,
You’ve swapped the Eiffel for a toilet seat!

But Julie, we’re glad you’re here,
Even if you cry a little tear.
You’re our queen, our maître d’,
Of this fine école insanity! 🎵
