Ça Balance Pas Mal À Paris

I was born here
Not in Memphis
I’m from Paris
No family
I’ve never known Cab Calloway
I’ve never produced anything on Broadway
I know Passy
Not Albany
I’m not a Yankee
You’re doing great, kid
I’m not into the cock-a-doodle-doos
There’s also some bad in Ohio

Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going too

Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going too

I want to put on a show

I couldn’t ask for more
Bring something new
That’s all I want
But I don’t want to copy Ginger Rogers
Why always America first?
West Side Story
That’s all done
The umbrellas
They were nice
But I want to do something of my own
Gonna have to work, but why not?

Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going too

Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going too

Tap dancing isn’t our thing anymore
Metro Goldwyn Mayer isn’t the best anymore

Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going too

Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going too

Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well in Paris
Things are going too
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well
Things are going pretty well
Things are going too
