Jonathan Richman - Give Paris One More Chance

Well if you've been to cities but you've had enough
Have you been to Paris, France?
And if you doubt that Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance
The home of Piaf and Chevalier
Must have done something right to get passion this way
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance

Well now I'm calling it arrogant, calling it cruel
(Give Paris one more chance)
And also trop civaliser et mon dieu, c'est trop cool
But if you don't think Paris was made for love
Maybe your heart needs a telegram from up above
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Well give Paris one more chance

Well now there's some things I don't like and some things I do
But give Paris one more chance
I can see why Paris would be ugly for you
But give Paris one more chance
The home of Piaf and Trennet too
Must have done something right
Must have something for you
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance

Now hear the boys singing Beegees songs under the skies
Give Paris one more chance
And on the steps of Montmartre they harmonise
Give Paris one more chance
Because if you don't think Paris was made for love
Maybe your heart needs a telegram from up above
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance
Let's wrap it up..

Well if you've been to cities and you've had enough
Have you been to Paris, France?
And if you doubt that Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance
The home of Piaf and Charles Aznavour
Must have done something right
And will do something more
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance
Alright
Give Paris one more chance

Is this is the version from jonathan sings?

[Louise Drennan]

My Dad always used to play this when I was younger, still know every word!

I love the JR-background voices in general

[captmark97]

According to Wikipedia Charles Trenet spelled his name with just one 'n.'

Great post though, to get me to cross-reference the lyrics. Thanks, Tony, and thanks, Jonathan.

Best JoJo song ever. Thanks for posting

I bought the more low-key version of this off of iTunes, but I was looking for this one! I love this song.

This is a damn fine snappy tune. Along with this ditty , I also enjoy New Teller and I'm Natures Mosquito.
