THESE WORLDLY WONDERS
Phil Medley

as recorded by Patti Page
with Vic Schoen & his Orchestra
released April 10th 1958


I've seen the Mona Lisa,
The leaning tower of Pisa,
I've even sailed at night upon the Nile.
I must confess I love these worldly wonders,
But I'd rather see your smile!

I've been to see the ballet
And strolled along Pigalle,
Oh I've been thrilled by Paris and its charms.
To tell the truth I love these worldly wonders,
But I'd rather be in your arms!

Everywhere I go,
People seem to know
I'm not travellin' for the sake of art!
Just one look at me
And it's plain to see
I'm tryin' to hide a broken heart! (a broken broken broken heart)

I've had my French and Latin,
Now I want Manhattan,
I wanna kiss you on Fiftrh Avenue!
The thrills I've found in all these worldly wonders
Can't compare to the wonders of you! (the wonders of you)

I've had my French and Latin,
Now I want Manhattan,
I wanna kiss you on Fiftrh Avenue!
The thrills I've found in all these worldly wonders
Can't compare to the wonder of you!
