Lyrics
Until I came to Paris
I was such a very serious guy
My only thought in life was how to succeed
Until I hit the Boulevard
I played croquet in my own little yard
And thought that I had reached the limit of speed
Before “la vie Parisienne” had made me such a fool
I was a hard boiled go-getter, and how
Just think, that not so long ago
I went to Sunday school
Then simply take one long look at me now
Refrain:
Paree, Paree
Oh what did you, what did you
What did you do to me?
Paree, Paree
I’m not the respectable person I used to be
I’ve ceased to care what my troubles are
If I can get into a bottle where the bubbles are
Paree, Paree
Oh what did you
What did you do to me?
