It’s a Bore

Lyrics

[HONORÉ] Look at all the captivating Fascinating things there are to do [GASTON, spoken] Name two [HONORÉ] Look at all the pleasures All the myriad of treasures we have got [GASTON, spoken] 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] It's a bore But now marvel at the power Of the mighty Eiffel Tower Knowing there it will remain evermore Climbing up to the sky Over ninety stories high [HONORÉ, spoken] How many stories? [GASTON, spoken] Ninety [HONORÉ, spoken] What does it matter? [GASTON, spoken] It's stunning! [HONORÉ, spoken] If you say so [GASTON] It's no bore [HONORÉ] Now the 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, spoken] Gaston! [GASTON] It's the same dull world wherever you go Whatever place you are at [GASTON, spoken] The earth is round But everything on it is flat [HONORÉ, spoken] Uh huh [HONORÉ] Don't tell me Venice has no lure? [GASTON] It's a town that needs a sewer The Leaning Tower I adore [HONORÉ] Engineering is a bore Think of a race With your horse in seventh place Then he suddenly begins And he catches up and wins With a roar! [GASTON] What a bore [HONORÉ] Then think of lunch beneath the trees [GASTON] You'll excuse me, if you please [HONORÉ] You mean you don't want to come? [GASTON] The thought of lunch leaves me numb [HONORÉ] But I implore [GASTON, spoken] Oh no, Uncle [HONORÉ, spoken] Oh, Gaston [GASTON & HONORÉ] It's a bore! (It's not a bore!)
