Song language: English
The Poor People Of Paris |
| Just got back from Paris, France |
| All they do is sing and dance |
| All they’ve got there is romance |
| What a tragedy |
| Every boulevard has lovers |
| Every lover’s in a trance |
| The poor people of Paree |
| I feel sorry for the French |
| Every guy has got a wench |
| Every couple’s got a bench |
| Kissing shamelessly |
| Night and day they’re making music |
| While they’re making love in French |
| The poor people of Paree |
| Milk or water from the sink |
| Make a true Parisian shrink |
| Wine is all he’ll ever drink |
| And it worries me For with wine as cheap as water |
| Oh, it makes one stop and think |
| The poor people of Paree |
| Sister met a boy named Pierre |
| Had the craziest affair |
| And the day they parted there |
| He cried bitterly |
| Pierre was there to bid her farewell |
| But he brought his new girl, Claire |
| The poor people of Paree |
| So don’t go to Paris, France |
| Not unless you like to dance |
| Not unless you want romance |
| Like those poor inhabitants of Paree |
