Paris by Night

Nowhere I know, no matter where I go

Seduces men like Paris does en masse

The streets of Pigalle, the bars of Les Halles

The brass'ries and cafés at Montparnasse

The cabarets and bistros where the writer or artiste goes

Are as much a part of Paris as La Tour Eiffel!

The restaurants for purists

The nightclubs for the tourists

We have those in abundance as well!

Paree can be a dangerous affair

She offers far more follies than The Follies Bergères!

For sheer sophistication, plus some higher education

The smarter set can't wait to step this way

For here at Club "Chez Lui"

As you're all about to see

We'll tell you straight why Gay Paree is gay

Paris by night... Paree la nuit

Seduces us in ways we don't expect to be

She has magic from which even a Houdini can't be free

'Cause Paris by night has mystery

That's haunted us and taunted us through history

Shady secrets she is all too aware we long to share

That's why it is, I guess, we all adore her

And hunger to explore her hidden charms

She fools us all because she's so capricious

But nothing's more delicious than to sleep in her armsFor Paris by night's the only way

To realize that all in all it's nighttime, not the day

That sets her apart, wins every heart

And makes all our dreams take flight

There's no dream you can't find in Paris...

Paree by night!

That's why it is, I guess, we all adore her

And hunger to explore her hidden charms

She fools us all because she's so capricious

But nothing's more delicious than to sleep in her arms

But Paris by night you can't condemn;

They say she's really at her best from two to six a.m.!

C'est vrais, she's sublime!

Nighttime's the time

When all of our dreams take flight

There's no dream you can't find in Paris

Paree by night!
