Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Love Paris lyrics

rate me

Every time I look down on this timeless town

Whether blue or gray be the sky

Whether loud be her cheers or where soft be her tears

More and more do I realise.

I love Paris in the springtime

I love Paris in the fall

I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

Ooh, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles.

I love Paris every moment

Every moment of the year

I love Paris, why, why, do I love Paris?

Because my love is near.

How about Germany? Germany?

Achtung! (German-sounding scatting)

Like Chinese?

Ah, Chinese! (Chinese-sounding scatting)

How about Africa? Africa!

Asum-maumau-kissum Santy Claus!

And Paris? Paris!

Oui, oui, asu Monsieur, ha ha!

I love Paris every moment

Every moment of the year

I love Paris, why, oh, why, do I love Paris

Because my love is near.

Because my love is near.
