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 thеre it will remain evеrmore? 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] Life is thrilling as can be [GASTON] Simply not my cup of tea [HONORÉ] It'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 the thrill Of a bullfight in Seville When the bull is uncontrolled And he charges at a bold matador [GASTON] It's a bore [HONORÉ] Think of lunch beneath the trees [GASTON] Stop the carriage, 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] Oh no, Uncle, it's a bore
