Lyrics
Paris was a paradise, a treat for the eye
Upon a sunny afternoon
I beheld an Angel who had dropped from the sky
You vanished all too soon
Chorus:
Delightful was the day in gay Paree
I gave my heart away, Oui, Oui, Cheri
At a perfume counter on the Rue de la Paix
The flowers scented air in gay Paree
Encouraged me to care, Oui, Oui, Cheri
At a perfume counter on the Rue de la Paix
The conversation was blended
With romance in May
But your vacation soon ended
And you went away
If you remember this, come back to me
And say it with a kiss, Oui, Oui, Cheri
At a perfume counter on the Rue de la Paix
