| I’m often asked if I would like to travel
|
| And visit other lands across the sea
|
| But though it might be pleasant
|
| I think that for the present
|
| This is the place where I prefer to be
|
| Let others go to Sweden or Siam
|
| I think I’ll stay exactly where I am
|
| They say it’s lovely when a
|
| Young lady’s in Vienna
|
| But it’s nicer, much nicer in Nice
|
| In Amsterdam or Brussels
|
| The men have great big muscles
|
| But they’re nicer, much nicer in Nice
|
| I’ve heard that the Italians
|
| Are very fond of dalliance
|
| And they’re also keen on it in Greece
|
| But whatever they may say
|
| This is where I want to stay
|
| For it’s so much nicer in Nice
|
| She says it’s nicer, much nicer in Nice
|
| She says it’s nicer, much nicer in Nice
|
| Some people’s one desire is
|
| To go to Buenos Aires
|
| But it’s nicer, much nicer in Nice
|
| The laws are rather vague in
|
| The town of Copenhagen
|
| But they’re nicer, much nicer in Nice
|
| And some may like a flutter
|
| In Bombay or Calcutta
|
| But they might have trouble with the p’lice
|
| (Ooh, la la!)
|
| Other places may be fun
|
| But when all is said and done
|
| It is so much nicer in Nice
|
| (dance break)
|
| But they might have trouble with the p’lice
|
| (Oh, mon Dieu!)
|
| Though I know a love affair
|
| Is delicious anywhere
|
| It is so much nicer in Nice
|
| And some may like a flutter
|
| In Bombay or Calcutta
|
| But they might have trouble with the p’lice
|
| Other places may be fun
|
| But when all is said and done
|
| It is so much nicer in Nice
|
| So much nicer
|
| So much nicer in Nice |
