Come to Paris

Lyrics

[MARQUIS] If you're bent on viewing Something doing Come to Paris! [FIRST WOMAN] Where is life more active And attractive Than in Paris? [SECOND WOMAN] Music, art and passion Set the fashion Here in Paris! [MARQUIS] Paris, oh Paris Your riches embarrass So, Paris, we're singing of you [MARQUIS & WOMEN] Paris, oh Paris Your riches embarrass So, Paris, we're singing of you [FIRST WOMAN] Bottles full of bubbles For your troubles Here in Paris [SECOND WOMAN] Paradise is when you Read a menu Here in Paris [MARQUIS] There's no overlooking What is cooking Here in Paris [MARQUIS & WOMEN] Liver with truffle Make gourm5ts unruffle Oh, Paris, you always come through [MARQUIS] Cities in Italy Sw5den or Spain Quite non-committally Give us a pain [TWO WOMEN] Don't mention Tripoli London or Rome [MARQUIS & WOMEN] We sing hip-hippilly: No place like home [MARQUIS] Where have men more talent For what's gallant Than in Paris? All the girls wear bodices Like goddesses In Paris Bodices delightful All are quite full Here in Paris [MARQUIS & WOMEN] Paris, oh Paris Your riches embarrass So, Paris, we're singing of you Paris, oh Paris Your riches embarrass So, Paris, we're singing of you [NARRATOR, spoken] Months have passed since last we met Our hero, Cellini, t�te-�-t�te And now in Paris he appears But why the eyes so full of tears? The independence which he craved Has left him curiously enslaved He's missed his favorite girl of all Angela, his own belle-of-the-ball His creative juices start to fizzle He cannot even lift his chisel Then suddenly his spirits rise He hears some news that dries his eyes The Duke and all his special friends Will soon arrive to make amends
