What makes Paree
Like Paree oughta be?
All the natives agree
Pigalle!
Wonderful street
Where the simple folk meet
Pigalle!
Sidewalk cafes,
Waiters balancing trays,
Mornin', night and noon.
Taxicabs toot
While a guy on a flute
Renders "Claire De Lune".
Mademoiselles
Wink their eyes at the swells
Where the corner sign spells
Pigalle!
Take it from me,
when you visit Paree,
Yes, you better had see
Pigalle!
It's just a part of the city,
Part of the heart of Paree.
Not to be there is a pity,
Won't you visut Pigalle with me?
