Dean Martin

The poor people of Paris (Audio)

Just got back from Paris, France
All they do is sing and dance
All they've got there is romance
What a tragedy!
Every boulevard has lovers
Every lover's in a trance.
the poor people of Paree.

I feel sorry for the French
Every guy has got a wench
Every couple's got a bench,
kissing shamelessly
Night and day they're making music,
while they're making love in French,
the poor people of Paree.

Instrumental (La la la...)

Milk or water from a sink
make a true Parisian shrink
Wine is all he'll ever drink,
and it worries me
For with wine as cheap as water,
oh, it makes one stop and think,
the poor people of Paree.

Sister met a boy named Pierre,
had the craziest love affair
And the day they parted there,
he cried bitterly
Pierre was there to bid her farewell,
but he brought his new girl, Claire,
the poor people of Paree.

So don't go to Paris, France,
not unless you'd like a-dance,
not unless you want romance,
like those poor inhabitants of Paree!

(parlando:)
In the meantime, I got to hurry back there
I think I've forgot some.
