The Poor People Of Paris (jean's Song) Lyrics - Chet Atkins

Just got back from Paris France 

All they do is sing and dance 

All they got is romance 

What a tragedy 

Every boulevard has lovers 

Every lover's in a trance 

The poor people of Paris 

I feel sorry for the French 

Every guy has got a wench 

Every couple's got a bench kissing shamelessly 

Night and day they're making music 

While they're making love in French 

The poor people of Paris 

Milk or water from a sink 

Make a true Parisian shrink 

Wine is all he'll ever drink 

And it worries me 

For with wine as cheap as water 

Oh it makes one stop and think 

The poor people of Paris 

Sister Madam Pierre 

Had the craziest love affair 

And the day after they parted there 

He cries bitterly 

Pierre was there to bid her farewell 

But he brought his new girl Claire 

The poor people of Paris 

So don't go to Paris France 

Not unless you like to dance 

Not unless you want romance 

Like those poor inhabitants of Paris 

[Spoken] 

In the meantime, I got to hurry back there 

I think I forgot something...
