PARIS WAKES ANS SMILES

from 1949 New York musical "Miss Liberty"
(Irving Berlin 1949)

as recorded by Al Jolson
May 31st 1949


When the sun goes down, Paris wakes up,
Fills up her cup and smiles.
When the lights are low, Paris is high,
Lights up the sky for miles!

When they stop playing sharp on the Rue de la Paix,
Count their stock and they lock up their style,
When the busy town goes home to sup,
Paris wakes up and smiles!

When they stop playing sharp on the Rue de la Paix,
Count their stock and they lock up their style,
When the busy town goes home to sup,
Paris wakes up and smiles!
