No. 9 - Sextet - "We're taking a trip"
Lyrics by W. H. Risque
| Genie: | We're taking a trip, In a hop or a skip, In a dash, in a flash, In a crack of the whip, |
| Lally: | To a city so rare, to the city so fair, We acclaim, By the name of La Ville Lumière, |
| Tippin: | Ten minutes is all we're allowed for a call In the town of renown of the frivolous Gaul; |
| Genie: | So the ten we're allowed We'll endeavour to crowd Just as full as can be, Of the sights of Paree. |
| All: | And it's really astonishing
once you begin it, The things you can ram, cram, slam, jam. |
| Genie: | A minute will do for the Rivoli rue, A minute the Champs Elysées, A minute the Bourse, A minute the Courses. A minute or two déjeuner, A minute of song at the Café Chantant, A minute of Paris par nuit, Par ici, par la, Comme ci et comme ça, Ten minutes will do for tout Paris. |
| All: | A minute will do for the Rivoli rue, A minute the Champs Elysées, A minute the Bourse, A minute the Courses. A minute or two déjeuner, A minute of song at the Café Chantant, A minute of Paris par nuit, Par ici, par la, Comme ci et comme ça, Ten minutes will do for tout Paris. |
| Genie: | And while on the spot, As it's part of the plot, We must pop in a shop, |
| Tippin: | Why not pop in the lot? |
| Foss: | It's an excellent plan, We must see all we can so we'll call on them all From Thérèse to Paquin, |
| Laolah: | We'll examine and try, And we'll order and buy Ev'ry dress that we guess is the very last cry, And a dozen or so of the latest chapeaux, That may happen to be in the shops of Paree. |
| All: | And it's really astonishing
once you begin it, The things you can eye, spy, try, buy. |
| Genie: | A minute will do for the Rivoli rue, A minute the Champs Elysées, A minute the Bourse, A minute the Courses. A minute or two déjeuner, A minute of song at the Café Chantant, A minute of Paris par nuit, Par ici, par la, Comme ci et comme ça, Ten minutes will do for tout Paris. |
| All: | A minute will do for the Rivoli rue, A minute the Champs Elysées, A minute the Bourse, A minute the Courses. A minute or two déjeuner, A minute of song at the Café Chantant, A minute of Paris par nuit, Par ici, par la, Comme ci et comme ça, Ten minutes will do for tout Paris. |
