Pégale! Pégale!
When in Paris,
you've got to see Pégale!
Bonsoir! Bonne nuit!
Ah, Paris! Paris!
What makes Paris like Paris
ought to be all the natives agree,
Pégale!
Wonderful street where the simple folks
meet with the social elite, Pégale!
Sidewalk cafes, waiters,
balancing trays,
morning, night, and noon
Taxi cabs toot
while a guy on the flute fingers clatter
Mademoiselles wink their
eyes at the swells
where the corner signs spell Pigalle
Take it from me when you visit Paris,
yes, you better had see Pigalle
Pégale, Pégale,
when in Paris
you've got to see Pégale.
Je voudrais voir, I wanna see,
le Champs -Élysées,
la Place de Concorde,
et l 'Arc de Triomphe.
I wanna see some chérie,
who wouldn't mind having dinner with me.
Pardonnez -moi, mademoiselle.
Oui, monsieur.
Voulez -vous? Non, compris.
Pour dîner ce soir? Pour tout?
Vous êtes Américain?
J 'ai from Detroit, Michigan,
and you from Paris
Oui, Paris, Paris, Illinois
Girl meets boy the hard way
Pigalle, Pigalle
The fun is free, so come and see Pigalle
What makes Paris like Paris
ought to be all the natives agree Pigalle,
Pigalle
Wonderful street where the simple folk
meet with the social elite
Pigalle, Pigalle
Sidewalk cafes, waiters,
balancing trays,
morning, night, and noon
Taxi cabs toot
while a guy on the flute fingers
Clair de Lune
Mademoiselles wink their
eyes at the swells
where the corner sign spells Big Gala
Take it from me when you visit Paris
C 'est le moment de la route ébullie
Go see the Louvre,
but we beg you,
don't leave till you see Picardy!
Ha ha, c 'est bon!
