Alan Jay Lerner - Paris Is Paris Again Lyrics

[HONORÉ]
Night in the sky
From the street comes the cry
Of the rooster in search of the hen
And Paris is Paris again
Stars on their beat
Looking down on the sweet
Intertwining of women and men
And Paris is Paris again

Lovers in closets and shoes in the drawer
Screams on the Rue Madeleine
Swords in the park, a shot in the dark
And Paris is thrillingly, killingly Paris again

Moon burning bright
And like bats in the night
Come the well-feathered demi-mondaine
And Paris is Paris again
Ladies you know
Arm in arm with their low
Classanovas meander the Seine
And Paris is Paris again

Meetings at nine that tomorrow will be
Meetings with lawyers at ten
Handfuls of hair, a tooth on the chair
And Paris is spicily, vicily Paris again
[Dance break.]

The song of the cuckold is heard in the land
Hailing la vie Parisienne
Joy and remorse, delight and divorce
And Paris is gaudily, bawdily, physically, aphrodisicly Paris again
