No. 13 - Chorus and Song - Lili - "The Parisienne."
| Paris Girls: | We've come to this country unknown, It's most picturesque you must own; And the lakes we have seen Are a deeper blue-green That the ones in the Bois de Boulogne! The lakes in the Bois de Boulogne! So here in the mountains we are; They look very icy from far, But the glaciers will melt On the spot when they've felt A breath of the Boulevard! |
| Chorus: | So here in the mountains you are; They look very icy from far, But the glaciers will melt On the spot when they've felt A breath of the Boulevard! |
| Lili: | Switzerland in snow Is a big gâteau With a sugar coating — |
| Chorus: | Coating, coating! |
| Lili: | Then the air is nice, Like champagne on ice, Where the sun is floating — |
| Chorus: | Floating, floating! |
| Lili: | Ah! c'est si gentil, Quite at home I feel! Et bien! sapristi! Me voici, la Lili! This is just like Paris then, For I'm the Pa-pa-pa-Parisienne. |
| Chorus: | Et bien! sapristi! La voici, la Lili! Switzerland is Paris then, For she's the Pa-pa-pa-Parisienne. |
| Lili: | Then the place is full Of the young John Bull And his manly father — |
| Chorus: | Father, father! |
| Lili: | They're so strong and tall, I adore them all, And they like me, rather — |
| Chorus: | Rather, rather! |
| Lili: | Flirting I have heard Is an English word! Et bien! sapristi! Me voici, la Lili! Don't I love the Englishmen, For I'm the Pa-pa-pa-Parisienne. |
| Chorus: | Et bien! sapristi! La voici, la Lili! She adores the Englishmen, For she's the Pa-pa-pa-Parisienne. |
