The Poor People of Paris (Jean's Song)
Just got back from Paris, FranceAll they do is sing and danceAll they've got there is romanceWhat a tragedyEvery boulevard has loversEvery lover's in a tranceThe poor people of PareeI feel sorry for the FrenchEvery guy has got a wenchEvery couple's got a benchKissing shamelesslyNight and day they're making musicWhile they're making love in FrenchThe poor people of PareeMilk or water from the sinkMake a true Parisian shrinkWine is all he'll ever drinkAnd it worries meFor with wine as cheap as waterOh, it makes one stop and thinkThe poor people of PareeSister met a boy named PierreHad the craziest affairSongtexteAnd the day they parted thereHe cried bitterlyPierre was there to bid her farewellBut he brought his new girl, ClaireThe poor people of PareeSo don't go to Paris, FranceNot unless you like to danceNot unless you want romanceLike those poor inhabitants of Paree
