Gay Paree
 from the film Victor/Victoria
 Music: Henry Mancini
 Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse
 
 When people speak of gay Paree,
 They think that when they say Paree is gay,
 They mean that gay Paree is gay!
 It is!
 
 Not in the way Paree
 Was gay in yesterday Paree.
 It means today that gay Paree is gay.
 Not that gay.
 
 They say Paree has always been that way.
 
 Along the banks of the Seine
 Just take a walk now and then.
 You'll meet some interesting men:
 Gay Paree.
 
 Along the Rue Madeleine
 Each evening 'round about ten
 You'll see it time and time again:
 Gay Paree.
 
 If you've a soirée to spare
 Go to the Folies Bergère
 You'll see such gaiety there!
 C'est la vie.
 
 Around the Rue des Beaux-Arts
 Where all the cabaret shows are
 I mean, well, really, those are,
 You'll agree:
 
 What they mean when they say "gay" Paree.
 
 The Faubourg Saint-Honoré,
 Where all the millionaires play,
 Is also, I'm so glad to say,
 Gay Paree.
 
 The rue de Rivoli arcades,
 Where fancy goods are displayed,
 There's also bound to be rough trade.
 Gay Paree.
 
 And in l'arrondissement eight,
 The Champs Élysées I would rate
 Perhaps the one thing that's straight
 As can be.
 
 And at the Café de la Paix,
 If you are heading that way,
 They drink a toast every day
 Around three.
 
 They make each moment as gay
 As le quatorze juillet!
 
 That's what they mean
 When they say "gay Paree!"
