lyrics
PARISIAN BOY
Parisian boys, all eyes on me (3x)
Parisian boys, tous les yeux sur Emily
Verse 1:
It was night time on the river banks, and the rats were on a roll
Made my way from le Marais, ‘cross the bridge to the Caveau
The line was long, a jazzy throng, the club was pipin’ hot
The band was cooking up a storm, giving it all they got
Bridge:
(Eh la bas!) Noticed someone in the crowd
(Eh la bas!) Hey good looking out
(Eh la bas!) quite handsome and sweet
Say Whats the legal age in Paris? (Oh it must be dix-huit)
Chorus:
Parisian boy making eyes at me
You’re so cute the first dance is free
Swing and sway like we got it on
Sorry, gotta ditch you ‘fore the break of dawn
Verse 2:
The band’s-a-boppin, champagne-a-poppin, the place a lions’ den,
The boy’s a real fine dancer, prolific romancer, but not quite yet a man
Some like it hot and some like to swing, some like it cool, I like to sing sing sing
Now If I was 17 again he might have a chance,
Oh what the hell, you’re looking cute, come on I owe you a dance
