Paris Is A Lonely Town

The glamour's gone,

The shades are down

And Paris is only a lonely town

Lonely



When love's a laugh

And you're the clown

Then Paris is only another town

Dreary



For the loveless clown

This town's a weary merry-go-round

And round

And round



The chestnut

The willow

The colors of Utrillo

Turn to gray, gray hues



The band playing Bizet

Along the Champs-Élysées

Sounds like way-down blues



Paris is a lonely

Dreary

Oh, so lonely town



Where's that shining flower 'neath the Eiffel Tower?

Where's that fairyland of gold?

Isn't it a pity that this magic city turned suddenly

Cold?



The chimneys moan

The river cries

Each glamorous bridge is a bridge of sighs



River, river

Won't you be my lover?

Don't turn me down



For Paris

Is such a lonely

Lonely... town
