Lyrics

[Part I: One Night in Paris] [MME. BEZIER] Bonjour, Monsieur Paris really welcomes you It's the best room in the house It's forty francs a night, all right? [TOURISTE] It's crazy It isn't worth a centime I'll take it [MME. BEZIER] Merci, Monsieur [OFFSTAGE SOLO] Rouged lips in the gaslight A great view of the hall [COMPANY] That's the way the croissant crumbles after all [NARRATOR] Paris is only one step away Les girls are out on bail Très bien, there's love for sale [COQUETTE] Oh my cheri, wish you were mine And I'll show you a wonderful time For the price of a cheap Champagne I'll show it you once again [VOICES OF THE STREETS] One night in Paris Is like a year in any other place One night in Paris Will wipe the smile off your pretty face One girl in Paris Is like loving every woman One night in Paris One night in Paris One night in Paris May be your last! [Part II: The Same Night in Paris] [HUSTLERS, OFFSTAGE SOLO HUSTLERS] Is he gonna buy? Hey, you wanna little culture? Is he gonna pay? Maybe Monsieur is into photographs, non? Or is he gonna fall in love The all American way? I got a watch with a beautiful Swiss movement Is he gonna buy? Oh, forget the watch, I'll show you a good time Is he gonna pay? Le connoisseur want something different? Or is he gonna fall in love The all American way? [COMPANY] Oh, you know you ain't no Casanova You can't even do the bossa nova Or the tango or the samba [CHINESE TARTS] Though you are so very charming [COMPANY] No, you ain't no Casanova [HUSTLERS] Is he gonna buy? (Is he gonna buy?) Is he gonna pay? (Is he gonna pay?) Or is he gonna fall in love The all American way? Is he gonna buy? (Is he gonna buy?) Is he gonna pay? (Is he gonna pay?) Or is he gonna fall in love The all American way? Sometimes I think he will But then again... [VOICES OF THE STREETS] One night in Paris Is like a year in any other place One night in Paris Will wipe the smile off your pretty face Try a girl in Paris But try one of mine Each night in Paris Each night in Paris Each night in Paris Each night in Paris May be your last! [Part III: Later the Same Night in Paris] [COQUETTE's GIRLS] Forty-two, quarante-deux Rue de Saint Jacques All our girls are, how you say Good in the sack [COQUETTE] I was a stripper On the Champs Elysées He was a gendarme In the gendarmerie [COQUETTE & GIRLS] Going ooh la la la Ooh la la la la [COQUETTE] He was a pimp In a black beret But he was an artiste In his own way [COQUETTE & GIRLS] Ooh la la la Ooh la la la la [COQUETTE & GIRLS] When they raided my club that night (That night) They ruined my act with the leather umbrella The Chief de Police got a fright (Got a fright) He was up in my boudoir with some other fella, oh [COQUETTE & CLUB CLIENTELE] It's only routine But I got this feeling It ain't good for business [NARRATOR] Then the floor cleared A woman screamed to herself [HENRI'S LOVER] Henri, though you're not the toast of Paris I love you, although you bed and beat me Henri, leave it alone For the gendarme's just doing his job [NARRATOR] Paris is only one step away [COMPANY] Murder is only one step away Notre Dame is ringing her bells Another gendarme has gone to hell Notre Dame is ringing her bells Another gendarme has gone to hell To hell, to hell, to hell, to hell To hell, to hell, to hell, to hell One night in Paris Is like a year in any other place One night in Paris Will wipe the smile off your pretty face One girl in Paris Is like loving every woman This night in Paris This night in Paris This night in Paris This night in Paris May be your last!
