"One Night In Paris" Ten CC (1975)

Part One: One Night in Paris 

Bonjour monsieur 
Paris really welcomes you 
It's the best room in the house 
It's forty francs a night, alright. 
It's crazy, it isn't worth a centime 
I'll take it! 
Merci Monsieur 
Rouged lips in the gaslight 
A great view of the hall 
That's the way the croissant crumbles after all 
Paris is only one step away 
Les girls are out on bail 
Tres bien there's love for sale 
Oh my cheri, wish you were mine 
And I'll show you a wonderful time 
For the price of a cheap champagne 
I'll show it you once again 
One night in Paris 
Is like a year in any other place 
One night in Paris 
Will wipe the smile off your pretty face 
One girl in Paris 
Is like loving every woman 
One night in Paris 
One night in Paris 
One night in Paris 
May be your last!!! 
Part Two: The Same Night in Paris 
Is he gonna buy? 
You wanna little culture? 
Is he gonna pay? 
Maybe Monsieur is into photographs, Non? 
Or is he gonna fall in love 
The all American way? 
I got a watch wiz a beautiful Swiss movement 
Is he gonna buy? 
Forget the watch, I'll show you a good time!` 
Is he gonna pay? 
Le connoisseur, want something different? 
Or is he gonna fall in love 
The all American way? 
Oh you know you ain't no Casanova 
You can't even do the Bossa Nova 
Or the Tango or the Samba! 
Though you are so very charming 
No you ain't no Casanova 
Is he gonna buy? 
Is he gonna pay? 
Or is he gonna fall in love 
The all American way? 
Sometimes I think he will 
But then again........................ 
One night in Paris 
Is like a year in any other place! 
One night in Paris 
Will wipe the smile off your pretty face! 
Try a girl in Paris 
But try one of mine 
Each night in Paris 
Each night in Paris 
Each night in Paris 
Each night in Paris 
May be your last!!! 
Part Three: Later the same night in Paris 
Forty-Two, Quarante-Deux 
Rue de Saint Jacques 
All our girls are how you say 
Good in the sack 
I was a stripper 
On the Champs Elysees 
He was a gendarme 
In the gendarmerie 
Going Oh La La La 
Oh La La La La 
He was a pimp 
In a black beret 
But he was an artiste 
In his own way 
Oh La La La 
Oh La La La La 
When they raided my club that night 
They ruined my act with the leather umbrella 
the Chief de Police got a fright 
He was up in my boudoir with some other fella 
It's only routine 
But I got this feeling 
It ain't good for business 
Then the floor cleared 
A woman screamed to herself 
Henri...Though you're not the toast of Paris 
I love you, although you bed and beat me 
Henri, leave it alone, 
For the gendarme's just doing his job 
Paris is only one step away 
Murder is only one step away 
Notre Dame is ringing her bells 
Another gendarme has gone to Hell 
Notre Dame is ringing her bells 
Another gendarme has gone to Hell 
Gone to Hell 
Gone to Hell 
One night in Paris 
Is like a year in any other place 
One night in Paris 
Will wipe the smile off your pretty face 
One girl in Paris 
Is like loving every woman 
This night in Paris 
This night in Paris 
This night in Paris 
This night in Paris 
May be your last!!!
