Obviously, I do too, and I like "Take My Hand Paree" even better than "Roses Red, Violets Blue":
"Take my hand, Paree,
Share your dreams with me.
Take my heart to mad Montmartre,
Or buy me the Rivoli.
"Make me the belle of Place Pigalle,
Siren along the Seine,
Make me the ultra, ultra-doll
Modigliani can
Claim as his mannekin . . ."
The combination of that expert musical craftsmanship with those expert lyrics is heavenly. |
