PARTY IN PARIS 


There's a bottle in the corner 
That's where I'm going to stay 
While me and my bottle of French wine 
Are going to drink the night away 
Nobody comes, nobody knocks on the door 
My friends are far away 
If the telephone don't start ringing 
It's going to be a bad bad day 

 Oh la la, oh la lay 
 There's a party in Paris Palais 
 Oh la la, oh la lay 
 There's a party in Paris Palais 

I turn on the radio 
But I don't like what they say 
So I put a record on my stereo 
Just to pass the time away 
It's 12 o'clock, I can see them now 
They're dancing the night away 
Little Jimmy dressed as Fred Astaire 
Shouting records the band can't play 

 Oh la la, oh la lay 
 There's a party in Paris Palais 
 Oh la la, oh la lay 
 There's a party in Paris Palais 

I can smell the French perfume 
While I sit here in despair 
Think I'11 open another bottle 
And I'11 make believe I'm there 
Meanwhile back in London 
Seems a million miles away 
Looking at my invitation 
With no ticket for a train 

 Oh la la, oh la lay 
 There's a party in Paris Palais 
 Oh la la, oh la lay 
 There's a party in Paris Palais
