The glamour's gone The shades are down And Paris is only a lonely town Lonely When love's a laugh And you're the clown Then paris is only another town Dreary For the lovers clown This town's a weary merry go round And round and round The chestnut, the willow, the colors of Utrillo Turn to grey, grey hues The band playing vyse Along the Champs Elysees Sounds like wake up blues Paris is a lonely, dreary, oh so lonely town Where's that shining flower 'Neath the Eiffel tower? Where's that fairy land of gold? Isn't it a pity that this magic city Turned suddenly cold? The chimneys moan The river cries Each glamorous bridge is a bridge of sighs River, river, won't you be my lover? Don't turn me down For Paris is such a lonely, lonely town
