THIS ONE’S CALLED
FIFTEEN FRIENDS

You should have told me you were going to Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
I’ve got fifteen friends in Paris
I’ve got fifteen friends in Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
I’ve got fifteen friends in Paris
I’ve got fifteen friends in Paris
I’ve got fifteen friends in Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
I have so many friends in Paris
That I’ve begun to dream in French
Which is the language dans un Paris

Any one of which
would have shown you
a Paris that You wouldn’t believe
The Paris of your Dreams
when you think Paris
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
when you think Paris
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
you should think of me

You should have told me you were going to Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
I have fifteen friends in Paris
I have fifteen friends in Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
I have fifteen friends in Paris
Fifteen of which are ageing gracefully by the way
I have fifteen friends in Paris
I have fifteen friends in Paris
You should have told me you were going to Paris
I have fifteen friends in Paris
I have fifteen friends in Paris

Your experience there
Would have been vastly improved
If only you’d told me
my fifteen Parisians
They’re at all the openings
They know the machinationsv Of the elite, tasteful, almost mythological city, Paris
Any one of which
Would have shown you
a Paris that
You wouldn’t believe
The Paris
Of Your Dreams
when you think Paris
you should think me
you should think me
when you think Paris
you should think of me

And that’s just as many as I can picture
As I close my eyes
I see their faces
They tell me stories
of the war years
About how Gaultier
Was enfant terrible
They think of me always
And as all my friends in Paris would say
Without them,
your experience there
could only have been
Très très
Premier degré

Anyone
Any one of which
Anyone
Any one of which
Any one of which
would have shown you
a Paris that
You wouldn’t believe
The Paris
Of Your Dreams
when you think Paris
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
when you think Paris
you should think me
you should think me
you should think me
you should think of me
