There's a bottle in the corner
That's where I'm gonna stay
Just me and my bottle of French wine
We're gonna drink the night away
Nobody comes, nobody knocks on the door
My friends are far away
And if the telephone don't start ringing
It's gonna be a bad, bad day
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
[x2]
I turn on the radio
But I don't like what they play
So I put a record on the stereo
Just to pass this night away
It's twelve o'clock, I can see them now
They're dancing the night away
Little Jimmy's dressed as Fred Astaire
So wrecked that the band can't play
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
[x2]
Well, I can smell the French perfume
While I sit here in despair
I think I'll open another bottle
And I'll make believe I'm there
Meanwhile back in London
Seems a million miles away
I'm looking at my invitation
With no ticket for a train
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
[Repeat until end]
