Ah, Paris! Songtext
von Mary Beth Peil

New York has neon
Berlin has bars
But ah! Paris!

Shanghai has silk
And Madrid guitars
But ah! Paris!
In Cairo you find bizarre bazaars
In London, pip! pip!, you sip the tea

But when it comes to love
None of the above
Compares, compris?

So if it′s making love
That you're thinking of
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Paris!


I have seen the ruins of Rome
I′ve been in the iglus of Nome
I have gone to Moscow
It's very gay
Well, anyway on the first of May

I have seen Rangoon and Soho
And I like them more than so-so
But when there's a moon
Goodbye, Rangoon
Alo. Montmartre, alo!

Peking has rickshaws
New Orleans jazz
But ah! Paris!
Beirut has sunshine
that′s all it has, haha
But ah! Paris!

Constantinople has Turkish baths
And Athens that lovely debris
Carlsbad may have a spa
But for ooh-la-la
You come with me!


Carlsbad is where you′re cured
After you have toured
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Paris!
