Until I came to Paris
I was such a very serious guy
My only thought in life was
how to succeed
Until I hit the Boulevard
I played croquet in
my own little yard
And thought that I had reached
the limit of speed
Before "la vie Parisienne"
had made me such a fool
I was a hard boiled gogetter, and how
Just think, that not so long ago
I went to Sunday school
Then simply take one long look at me now

Paree, Paree
Oh what did you, what did you
What did you do to me?
Paree, Paree
I'm not the respectable person
I used to be
I've ceased to care
what my troubles are
If I can get into a bottle
where the bubbles are
Paree, Paree
Oh what did you
What did you do to me?

Paree, Paree
Oh what did you, what did you
What did you do to me?
Paree, Paree
I'm not the respectable person
I used to be
I've ceased to care
what my troubles are
If I can get into a bottle
where the bubbles are
Paree, Paree
Oh what did you
What did you do to me?
