Toronto is great
And Brantford is just fine
I think it was in Ottawa that I had the best time

Though Montreal's appealing
I need the real thing
Paris, oh Paris be mine


When I was just sixteen years old
That's when I found out where I needed to go

I found the answer in a Tropic of Cancer
Discovered lovers and dirty !@^%s
In a night school book report


Now some years have passed and I still know
I've found a garden for my heart to grow

The big Eiffel Tower like a beautiful metal flower
Will smile and sing on down to me


'Je suis ci joyeux que vous etes ici! '

And I won't be afraid

Of no men in berets
I will dance and parade all over town


And I can't get hurt
By no women in striped shirts
Won't be shy or embarassed

No, not here in Paris

Toronto is great

And my friends are why
I think of all the crazy nights drinking cheap red wine
And though certainly I will miss you

I heard they have nice tissues
In Paris, oh Paris be mine


Paris, oh Paris be mine
