The glamour's gone

The shades are down

And Paris is only a lonely town

Lonely

When love's a laugh

And you're the clown

Then paris is only lonely town

Dreary

For the lovers clown

This town's a weary merry go round

And round and round

The chestnut the willow the colors of Utrillo

Turn to grey grey hues

The band playing vyse

Along the Champs Elysees

Don't turn all down blues

Paris is a lonely dreary oh so lonely town

Where's that shining flower

'Neath the Eiffel tower

Where's that fairy land of gold

Isn't it a pity that this magic city

Turned suddenly cold

The chimneys moan

The river cries

Each glamorous bridge is a bridge of sighs

River river won't you be my lover

Don't turn me down

For Paris is such a lonely lonely town
