It’s a Bore

Lyrics

[HONORÉ] Look at all the captivating Fascinating things there are to do [GASTON] Name two [HONORÉ] Look at all the pleasures All the myriad of treasures we have got [GASTON] Like what? [HONORÉ] Look at Paris in the spring When each solitary thing Is more beautiful than ever before You can hear every tree Almost saying, "Look at me!" [GASTON, spoken] What color are the trees? [HONORÉ, spoken] Green! [GASTON, spoken] What color were they last year? [HONORÉ, spoken] Green! [GASTON, spoken] And next year? [HONORE, spoken] Green! [GASTON, spoken] It's a bore [HONORÉ] Don't you marvel at the power Of the mighty Eiffel Tower Knowing there it will remain evermore? Climbing up to the sky Over ninety stories high [GASTON, spoken] How many stories? [HONORÉ, spoken] Ninety! [GASTON, spoken] How many yesterday? [HONORÉ, spoken] Ninety! [GASTON, spoken] And tomorrow? [HONORÉ, spoken] Ninety! [GASTON, spoken] It's a bore [HONORÉ] The river Seine [GASTON] All it can do is flow [HONORÉ] But think of wine [GASTON] It's red or white [HONORÉ] But think of girls [GASTON] It's either yes or no And if it's no or if it's yes It simply couldn't matter less [HONORÉ] But think of a race With your horse in seventh place Then he suddenly begins And he catches up and wins With a roar! [GASTON] It's a bore! [HONORÉ] Don't you dream, for heaven's sake? [GASTON] Dreaming bores me wide awake [HONORÉ] Life's a gay, romantic fling [GASTON] If you like that sort of thing [HONORÉ] It's intriguing [GASTON] It's fatiguing [HONORÉ] It's a game [GASTON] It's the same dull world wherever you go Whatever place you are at The earth is round But everything on it is flat [HONORÉ] Don't tell me Venice has no lure? [GASTON] Just a town without a sewer [HONORÉ] The Leaning Tower I adore [GASTON] Indecision is a bore [HONORÉ] But think of paté Then a fresh [?] grillé Then rognons en brochette Salad, cheese, crêpes Suzette What a thrill [GASTON] I'd be ill [HONORÉ] The Mona Lisa's form and grace [GASTON] Just another pretty face [HONORÉ] Watching wintertime unfold [GASTON] Winter really leaves me cold [HONORÉ] But the dawn [GASTON] It's a yawn Life is blah [HONORÉ] Not to moi [GASTON] Dull as tea [HONORÉ] Not to me Just to you [HONORÉ & GASTON] It's a bore
