Paris is no trifle
And I tried to get an eyeful
Did some roamin’ while in Rome and on the Rhine
What we did in Spain
I really can’t explain
It’s all a little blurry
Since you’ve become mine
We saw the sea
The ocean blue
We saw a castle
With turrets and a view
I saw a camel
In fact there were two
But all I really saw was you
We took some snap shots
Said “parlez vous”
We saw the Prado,
La Scala, and the Louvre.
I danced with a Raja
Somewhere in Baku
But all I really saw was you
From New York to New Caledonia
You’re the only thing that caught my eye
The Taj Majal – It was large, I recall
The Sahara… I’m certain, was rather dry
We saw a bridge
We saw a lake
We saw a fakir, or was he just a fake
The lights of Paris - Were so embarrassed
‘Cause all I really saw was you…
