Lyrics
Though I love Warszawa,
I love to vander vest,
Ich bin ein Berliner
I feel at home in Budapest,
The Austrians have Mozart,
The British have Big Ben,
Ah, Love! Ah, Paris! Ah, Men!
Vienna’s full of brown shirts,
London’s falling down,
Rome is no more Roman
Than Munich is a toddlin’ town,
So off to my oasis
To satisfy my yen,
Ah, Love! Ah Paris! Ah Men!
What’s so great about Great Britain?
I want love, and I’ve been bitten,
Ah, Paree! I am so smitten
With your possibilities,
As I stroll the Champs Elysees,
How to speak in native tongue, say:
I love you, j’taime, mais oui!
Let’s bypass all hostility…
When I’ve had my measure
Of wine, and men, and song,
Home alone I’ll treasure
The thrill of knowing I belong,
I’ll fall upon my mattress,
Recalling once again,
Ah Love! Ah Paris!
I’m as high as la Dame de Fer is
Love!
Paris!
Men!
