What makes Paree
Like Paree oughta be?
All the natives agree -
Pigalle!
Wonderful street
Where the simple folk meet
with the social elite -
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?


What makes Paree
Like Paree oughta be?
All the natives agree -
Pigalle!
Wonderful street
Where the simple folk meet
with the social elite -
Pigalle!


Sidewalk cafes,
Waiters balancing trays,
Mornin', night and noon.
Taxicabs toot
While a guy on a flute
Murders "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!
