So don't go to Paris France
For with wine as cheap as water
And the day they parted there
The poor people of Paris
Sister Madam Pierre
Had the craziest love affair
Every guy has got a wench
Wine is all he'll ever drink
Every boulevard has lovers
The poor people of Paris
I feel sorry for the French
Pierre was there to bid her farewell
Not unless you like to dance
Oh, it makes one stop and think
But he brought his new girl Claire
And it worries me
He cried bitterly
Night and day they're making music
The poor people of Paris
What a tragedy
Milk or water from a sink
In the meantime, I got to hurry back there
Every couple's got a bench
All they got there is romance
Like those poor inhabitants of Paris
Not unless you want romance
Every lover's in a trance
While they're making love in French
Make a true Parisian shrink
The poor people of Paris
Kissing shamelessly
