Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can keep the Empire State, it's very tall, but that is all
You can keep your old New York, it's not for me, give me Paree
[Verse 2]
My New York may have its faults, just as you say
But your Paris has some too, please step this way
[Verse 3]
From your hotel, the view is swell
But here's the rub, there is no tub
The plumbing's 1883
(That's what makes Paris Paree)
[Verse 4]
The clothes are chic, the hats unique
It's such a thrill, then comes the bill
And you're undressed financially
(That's what makes Paris Paree)
[Verse 5]
(The peddler's cart) The Eiffel Tower
(The flowers mart) The Eiffel Tower
(The priceless art) The Eiffel Tower
(The Eiffel Eiffel) Awful, awful Eiffel Tower
[Verse 6]
(You can't endure without the Moore)
I like l'amour, but not toujours
I guess it's just heredity
(It's what we call c'est la vie)
That's what makes Paris Paree
Yes, but New York is home to me
[Verse 7]
(Garcon regrets) No crepes suzettes?
(The lady pales) The servant's nails
We'll both get heartburn, wait and see
(That's what makes Paris Paree)
[Verse 8]
You try to grab a taxi cab
The light is red, it goes ahead
And knocks you down quite cheerfully
(That's what makes Paris Paree)
[Verse 9]
(The gay cafes) The Eiffel Tower
(The mayonnaise) The Eiffel Tower
(The Marseille) The Eiffel Tower
(The oh-so-tiring) But inspiring Eiffel Tower
[Verse 10]
I've seen it all, the posarts mall
(The Rue la Paix) Well, it's okay
Just twist my arm and I'll agree
Paris is getting to me
[Verse 11]
(The priceless art) The peddler's cart
(The clothes so chic) The pipes that leak
That's what makes Paris (That's what makes Paris)
(That's what makes Paris) Paree
