Bonjour, Paris! |
| DICK. |
| I want to step out |
| Down the Champs-Élysées, |
| From the Arch of Triumph |
| To the Petit Palais. |
| That’s for me: |
| Bonjour, Paris! |
| MAGGIE. |
| I want to wander |
| Through the Saint-Honoré, |
| Do some window shopping |
| In the Rue de la Paix |
| That’s for me: |
| Bonjour, Paris! |
| JO. |
| I want to see the den of thinking men |
| like Jean-Paul Sartre. |
| I must philosophise with all the guys |
| around Montmartre and Montparnasse. |
| ALL THREE. |
| I’m strictly (a) tourist |
| But I couldn’t care less. |
| When they parlez-vous me |
| Then I gotta confess. |
| That’s for me: |
| Bonjour, Paris! |
| MEN. |
| Light up the Louvre museum |
| Jazz up the Latin quarter |
| To show the richest and the poorest: |
| Here it comes, |
| The great American tourist! |
| MAGGIE. |
| This has got to be illegal |
| What I feel |
| Trés gay, trés chic, |
| Trés mag-nifique |
| C’est moi, c’est vous |
| C’est grand, c’est too tout… |
| It’s too good to be true, |
| All the things we can do. |
| You do things to my point of view. |
| MEN. |
| We can show you the North or |
| We can show you the South then |
| We can show you the West! |
| MAGGIE. |
| Come on and show me (& MEN) the best! |
| MAGGIE. |
| That’s for me: |
| Bonjour, Paris! |
| PEOPLE. |
| Bonjour. |
| MAGGIE. |
| Bonjour! |
| JO. |
| That’s for me: |
| Bonjour, Paris! |
| PEOPLE. |
| Bonjour! |
| DICK. |
| Living is easy, |
| The livin' is high. |
| All good Americans |
| Should come here to die. |
| PEOPLE. |
| Bonjour! |
| MAGGIE. |
| Is it real? |
| Am I here? |
| JO. |
| Am I here? |
| Is it real? |
| MAGGIE. |
| There’s something missing |
| MAGGIE & JO. |
| There’s something missing, I know. |
| ALL THREE. |
| There’s something missing |
| There’s something missing, I know: |
| There’s still one place |
| I’ve got to go! |
| MAGGIE. |
| Oh! |
| DICK. |
| Oh no! |
| MAGGIE. |
| I thought that you were tired. |
| DICK. |
| You said that you were tired. |
| JO. |
| I heard you say that you… |
| MAGGIE. |
| You told me you were tired! |
| DICK. |
| You said that you were so exhausted! |
| JO. |
| You said you needed sleep! |
| MAGGIE. |
| You told that you had to rest. |
| DICK. |
| You said you ought to rest. |
| JO. |
| I thought you wanted rest. |
| MAGGIE. |
| Is this what you call rest? |
| DICK. |
| I haven’t time to rest! |
| JO. |
| This fussing and fretting |
| It’s getting my goat. |
| DICK. |
| Let’s all let our hair down, |
| We’re in the same boat! |
| All. |
| We’re strictly tourists, |
| You can titter and jeer. |
| All we want to say is |
| La Fayette, we are here |
| On a spree, |
| Bonjour, Paris! |
| Bonjour! |
| DICK Well, how was that? |
