Robert Preston - Gay Paree lyrics

[TODDY] When people speak of Gay Paree They think that when they say Paree is gay They mean that gay Paree is gay; It is! Not in the way Paree Was gay in yesterday Paree; It means today that gay Paree is "Gay!" Not that gay! They say Paree has always been "that way!" Along the banks of the Seine Just take a walk now and then You'll meet some interesting men: Gay Paree! Along the Rue Madeleine Each evening 'round about ten You'll see it time and time again: Gay Paree! If you've a soiree to spare Go to the Follies Bergeres You'll see such gaiety there C'est la vie! Around the Rue des Beaux-Arts Where all the cabarets shows are I mean, well, really those are You'll agree What they mean when they say "Gay Paree"! Du Foubourg Saint Honore Where all the millionaires play Is also, I'm so glad to say, Gay Paree! The Rue de Rivoli Arcade Where fancy goods are displayed There's also plenty of rough trade: Gay Paree! And in arrondissement eight The Champs Elysees I would rate Perhaps the one thing that's straight as can be And at the Cafe de la Paix If you are heading that way They drink a toast ev'ry day around three; They make each moment as gay As Le Quatorze of Juillet; That's what they mean when the say "Gay Paree!"
