Give Him the Ooh-La-La: The Riviera |
The Riviera |
On every street a gay casino |
Where continentals sip their vino |
And leave their fortunes to chance |
The Riviera |
Where matrons draped in Paris fashions |
Prolong the twilight of their passions |
In mad pursuit of romance |
Every gay mademoiselle |
Is disarming some Maharajah |
With the daring of her |
Life is so completely zany and free |
By the Mediterranean sea |
Ah, the Riviera |
Where every golden coat of sun tan |
Has cost the gold of more than one man |
Who wasn’t warned in advance |
He may take to his heart |
All the wonders of France |
Then as a token for the dough that he’s sunk |
He gets a little label slapped on his trunk |
The Riviera |
The Riviera |
On every street a gay casino |
Where continentals sip their vino |
And leave their fortunes to chance |
The Riviera |
Where matrons draped in Paris fashions |
Prolong the twilight of their passions |
In mad pursuit of romance |
Every gay mademoiselle |
Is disarming some Maharajah |
With the daring of her |
Life is so completely zany and free |
By the Mediterranean sea |
Ah, The Riviera |
Where every golden coat of sun tan |
Has cost the gold of more than one man |
Who wasn’t warned in advance |
He may take to his heart |
All the wonders of France |
Then as a token for the dough that he’s sunk |
He gets a little label slapped on his trunk |
The Riviera |
