Porter YOU DON'T KNOW PAREE

"YOU DON'T KNOW PAREE"
From Fifty Million Frenchmen (1929)
LYRICS BY COLE PORTER
(Music by Cole Porter)

    (Verse)
  1  You come to Paris, you come to play.
  2  You have a wonderful time.  You go away.
  3  And from then on, you talk of Paris knowingly.
  4  You may know Paris, you don't know Paree.

    (Refrain)
  1  Though you've been around a lot,
  2  And danced a lot, and laughed a lot,
  3  You don't know Paree.
  4  You may say you've seen a lot,
  5  And heard a lot, and learned a lot--
  6  You don't know Paree.
  7  Paree will still be laughing after ev'ry one of us disappears,
  8  But never once forget, her laughter is the laughter that hides the tears.
  9  And until you've lived a lot, and loved a lot, and lost a lot,
10  You don't know Paree, you don't know Paree.
