Does anyone know where I can find lyrics to "The French Lesson" from "Good News"? I've googled my fingers off and still can't find them anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated!

Here's my suggestion.
I don't know if there's a complete book of "Lyrics by Comden and Green" (as there are such tomes with other writers).... And I'm sure you're aware that "FL" was written for and added to the 1947 film; it's not from the original.
BUT barring that...
Go to iTunes, and "search" under 'Good News'. When the page comes up, notice the clickable-line next to "Albums" which says "See all". The page will rollover, and the icon for the soundtrack from the film will come up.
When you click the icon, the playlist for the album appears.
If you have an iTunes account, you can purchase "The French Lesson" for 99 cents.
Once that's done, you could transcribe the lyric from the soundtrack into a document.
It takes a bit of time, but depending on how badly you need it, that would be a possibility.
I do this a lot if I can't find a lyric.
Hope this helps.
