Songtexte Beautiful Girls / Ah, Paree! / Buddy's Blues - Millicent Martin , Julia McKenzie

Hats off
Here they come, those beautiful girls
That's what we've been waiting for

Nature never fashioned
A flower so fair
No rose can compare
Nothing respectable half so delectable

Cheer them in their glory
Diamonds and pearls
Dazzling jewels by the score

This is what beauty can be
Beauty celestial, the best, you'll agree
All for you
These beautiful girls!

I have seen the ruins of Rome
I've been in the igloos of Nome
I have gone to Moscow, it's very gay
Well, anyway, on the first of May

I have seen Rangoon and Soho
And I like them more than so-so
But when there's a moon
Goodbye, Rangoon
Hello, Montmartre
Hello!

Peking has rickshaws
New Orleans, jazz
But ah, Paree!
Beirut has sunshine
That's all it has
But ah, Paree!

Constantinople has Turkish baths
And Athens, that lovely debris
'Cause Bath may have a spa
But for ooh, la la
You come with me
Carlsbad is where you're cured
After you have turned
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Paree!

I've got those
"God, why don't you love me?
Oh you do? I'll see you later"
Blues

That "Long as you ignore me
You're the only thing that matters"
Feelings

The "If I'm good enough for you
You're not good enough"
And "Thank you for the present
But what's wrong with it" stuff
Those "Don't come any closer
'Cause you know much I love you" feelings
Those "Tell me that you love me
Oh, you did? I gotta run now" blues

I've got those "Whisper how I'm better than I think
But what do you know?" blues
Blah, blah, blues
The "Why do you keep telling me I stink
When I adore you?" feelings

But say I'm all the world to you
You're out of your mind
I know there's someone else
And I could kiss your behind
Those "You say I'm terrific
But your taste was always rotten" feelings

Those "Go away; I need you"
"Come to me, I'll kill ya"
"Darling, I'll do anything to keep you with me till ya
Tell me that you love me
Oh, you did? Now, beat it, will ya?" blues
Blues!
