Karaoké Gay Paree Victor / Victoria (1982 film)

When people speak of

Gay Paree

They think that when they say

Paree is gay

They mean that gay Paree is Gay

It is!

Not in the way Paree

Was gay in yesterday Paree

It means today that gay Paree is Gay

Not that gay

They say Paree has always been that way

Along the banks of the Seine

Just take a walk now and then

You'll meet some interesting men

Gay Paree

Along the

Rue Madeleine

Each evening 'round about ten

You'll see it time and time again

Gay Paree

If you've a soirée to spare

Go to the Folies Bergère

You'll see such gaiety there

C'est la vie

Around the

Rue des Beaux-Arts

Where all the cabarets shows are

I mean, well

Really those are

You'll agree

What they mean when they say

Gay Paree

The Faubourg Saint-Honoré

Where all the millionaires play

Is also I'm so glad to say

Gay Paree

The Rue de Rivoli Arcade

Where fancy goods are displayed

There's also bound to be rough trade

Gay Paree

And in arrondissement eight

The Champs Elysées

I would rate

Perhaps the one thing that's straight as can be

And at the Cafe de la Paix

If you are heading that way

They drink a toast every day around three

They make each moment as gay

As Le Quatorze Juillet

That's what they mean when they say

Gay Paree
