Ah, Paree!

[SOLANGE]
New York has neon, Berlin has bars
But ah! Paris!
Shanghai has silk and Madrid guitars
But ah! Paris!
In Cairo you find bizarre bazaars
In London pip-pip! you sip tea

But when it comes to love
None of the above
Compares, compris?
So if it's making love
That you're thinking of
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah! Paris!

I have seen the ruins of Rome
I have been to the igloos of Nome
I've gone to Moscow
It's very gay
Well, anyway
On the first of May!

I have been to Rangoon and Soho
And I like them more than so-so
But when there's a moon
Goodbye, Rangoon
Hello, Montmartre, hello!

Peking has rickshaws, New Orleans jazz
But ah! Paris!
Beirut has sunshine—that's all it has
But ah! Paris!
Constantinople has Turkish baths
And Athеns that lovely debris

Carlsbad may have a spa
But for ooh-la-la
You comе with me!
Carlsbad is where you're cured
After you have toured
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah! Paris!
