Paris Hold the Key (to Your Heart) Lyrics

[ACCORDIAN PLAYER]
Lovers!

[LADY FLOWER SELLER]
Ooh La La!

[SOPHIE]
Welcome, my friends, to Paris.
Here, have a flower on me.
Forget where you're from.
You're in France!
Children, come!
I'll show you that French joie de vivre!

Paris holds the key to your hear.
And all of Paris plays a part.

[ACCORDIAN PLAYER AND FLOWER SELLER]
Just stroll two by two
Down what we call "la rue"

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
And soon all Paris
Will be singing to you!
Ooh La La
Ooh La La
Ooh La La!

[MAURICE CHEVALIER]
Paris holds the key to l'amour!

[FREUD]
And not even Freud knows the cure.

[AVIATOR]
There's love in the air!

[JOSEPHINE BAKER]
At the Follies Begere!

[ARTISTE]
The French have it down to an art!

[ALL]
Paris hold the key to your heart!

[SOPHIE]
When you're feeling blue
Come to Le Moulin.
When your heart says don't,
The French say do!

[CAN CAN GIRLS]
When you think you can't
You'll find you can can!

[SOPHIE]
Everyone can can can!

[SOPHIE AND CAN CAN GIRLS]
You can can can too!
Whee!
Whee!
Whee!

[DIMITRI]
Paris hold the key to her past.
Yes, Princess, I've found you at last.
No more pretend,
You'll be gone,
That's the end...

[ENSEMBLE]
Paris hold the key
To your heart!

[COUTURIER]
You'll be "très jolie" and so smart!

[ISADORA DUNCAN]
Come dance through the night

[RODIN]
And forget all your woes

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
The city of light

[GERTRUDE STEIN]
Where a rose is a rose!

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
And one never knows what will start!
Paris
Holds the key...

[DIMITRI]
To her...

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
Heart!

[SOPHIE]
Ooh La La!

[ALL]
Ooh La La!
