06 - H.A. - Paris Days 1918

When I have leisure,
Paris for pleasure,
Always to me are the same;
There was my glorious chance.
To live in a whirl of romance?
What beautiful ladies
have smiled at me there
All lovely in different ways,
I think of them still,
My heart seems to thrill
An idyll of Paris Days.

Beautiful girls of Paris
I remember yet,
What mem'ries I recall
I loved you one and all,
Yes even today I still regret
my neat Ninette.
Still bye the bye
I vainly sigh
for fair Florette.
Can I forget my own Jeanette,
When first we met,
Then to Suzette
my mem'ry strays.
Beautiful girls,
A string of pearls
where I love to gaze;
Wonderful theme
A golden dream,
of Paris Days!

Often I'm dreaming,
Lovingly scheming,
Never can memory fade;
Who was the fairest I met,
Was she a blonde or brunette?
How can I answer when all were so fair,
Why should I try to decide,
I worship them all,
The short and the tall,
And ever they seem at my side.

Beautiful girls of Paris
I remember yet,
What mem'ries I recall
I loved you one and all,
What hours of delight
I spent with you
my fair Lulu,
Oft in my dreams I turn to greet
my sweet Zuzu.
Futu I long for you again,
and you, FruFru
So to the past
my mem'ry strays.
Beautiful girls,
A string of pearls
where I love to gaze;
Wonderful theme
A golden dream,
of Paris Days!
