I don't understand the Parisians
Making love every time they get the chance,
I don't understand the Parisians
Wasting every lovely night on romance.
Any time and under every tree in town,
They're in session two by two,
What a crime with all there is to see in town,
They can't find something else to do.
I don't understand how Parisians
Never tire of walking hand in hand,
They seem to love it,
And speak highly of it.
I don't understand the Parisians!
(I love the Parisians!)
lol
SOMMS: That's some disparity in lodgings! Georges Cinq! I can remember the relative horror of lodgings the first time I was in Paris (a one star on the Left Bank with the toilette in the hallway), and the charm of a three star in the 14th Arrond...
I remember going into Galleries Lafayette to shop, but ended up spending all of my time in the food halls... and contemplated smuggling in French butter back home...

GAY PARIS
Toddy
When people speak of Gay Paree,
They think that when they say Paree is gay,
They mean that gay Paree is gay;
It is! Not in a way Paree
Was gay and yesterday Paree;
It means today that gay Paree is "Gay!"
[Speaking]
Not that gay!
[Sung]
They say Paree has always been "That way!"
Along the banks of the Seine,
Just take a walk now and then,
You'll meet some interesting men: Gay Paree!
Along the Rue Madeleine,
Each evening 'round about ten
You'll see it time and time again: Gay Paree!
If you've a soirée to spare,
Go to the Follies Bergères,
You'll see such gaiety there,
C'est la vie!
Around the Rue des Beaux-Arts,
Where all the cabarets shows are
I mean, well, really those are,
You'll agree,
What they mean when they say Gay Paree!
Du Foubourg Saint Honoré,
Where all the millionaires play,
Is also I'm so glad to say: Gay Paree!
The Rue de Rivoli Arcade
Where fancy goods are displayed,
There's also plenty of rough trade: Gay Paree!
And in arrondissement eight,
The Champs Elysées I would rate
Perhaps the one thing that's straight as can be.
And at the Café de la Paix,
If you are heading that way,
They drink a toast ev'ry day around three;
They make each moment as gay
As Le Quatorze of Juillet;
That's what they mean when the say
"Gay Paree!"
I want to step out
Down the Champs-Élysées,
From the Arch of Triumph
To the Petit Palais.
That's for me:
Bonjour, Paris!
I want to wander
Through the Saint-Honoré,
Do some window shopping
In the Rue de la Paix
That's for me:
Bonjour, Paris!
I don't think we're stuck up. But we do have some uppity members... :)

I've never minded when members are up.

Every time I look down on this timeless town
whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
more and more do I realize:
I love Paris in the springtime.
I love Paris in the fall.
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles,
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles.
I love Paris every moment,
every moment of the year.
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near.
-Cole Porter
DG, that is SUCH a line for someone's signature.
I however, do not do that...

SOMMS - it's all THEIR fault. I'm a good girl, I am! I washed my hands and face before I come, I did!
I'm in no shape to get into trouble today...
Hehehe..
1. I hope you caught the 'Wicked' pun there.
2. I was taking the blame for being uppity. I assumed you meant me
I did catch the Wicked pun... and I loved it.
Someone will be very proud of you.
Who??
Psst! *whispers answer in Princetons ear*
