| 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? |
