This song was written and composed by Fred Leigh and Orlando Powell
See the twinkle in my eye? Just come back
from France--that's why. Me and Bill went
over there to spend our honeymoon. Fust
time me in foreign parts! Did I like it? Bless
yer hearts--can't say more about it than it
ended up too soon. But don't think I've
done with good old England, not likely.
Bred and born down 'ackney Road--ah--and
proud to own it too. You like me make-up?
Ain't it great? The latest thing from Paris
straight. Gives a girl a chance to show
you what she can do.
And I'd like to go again to
Paris on the Seine, for Paris
is a proper pantomime. An'
if they'd only shift the
'ackney Road and plant it
over there, I'd like to live in
Paris all the time.
At the board school I went to they taught
me to Parley Vous Donny mo an' silver
plate, an' mercy an' oui oui. But in Paris soon
I found when I came to look around,
why even little kids spoke French much
better'n me. We went to a Music 'all, and a
lady she was singin' an' all the men were
larfin'. Bill says, \"Come on.\" I says, \"Shan't!
Wait a bit--I can't make out what they got ter
laff abart!\" An' some bloke turns to me an'
says, \"Well, it's a good job that you can't!\"
Still, I'd like to go again to
Paris on the Seine, for Paris
is a proper pantomime. An'
if they'd only shift the
'ackney Road and plant it
over there, I'd like to live in
Paris all the time.
Two French girls I heard one day having words
and oh the way those young women talk, it
seemed a cert they'd have a fight. Bill says,
\"Somehow I feel sure I've heard talk like that
before. Course! It must have been up Leicester
Square way late at night.\" Since I've been
home, oh, I've had some questions from
Mother--all about me honeymoon she seems
to want to 'ear. But I ain't one to talk a lot--and
not much out of me she got. All I said to
Mother was, \"Look here, nan old dear.\"
Oh, I'd like to go again to
Paris on the Seine, for Paris
is a proper pantomime. An'
if they'd only shift the
'ackney Road and plant it
over there, I'd like to live in
Paris all the time.
