[MARQUIS]
If you're bent on viewing
Something doing
Come to Paris!

[FIRST WOMAN]
Where is life more active
And attractive
Than in Paris?

[SECOND WOMAN]
Music, art and passion
Set the fashion
Here in Paris!

[MARQUIS]
Paris, oh Paris
Your riches embarrass
So, Paris, we're singing of you

[MARQUIS & WOMEN]
Paris, oh Paris
Your riches embarrass
So, Paris, we're singing of you

[FIRST WOMAN]
Bottles full of bubbles
For your troubles
Here in Paris
[SECOND WOMAN]
Paradise is when you
Read a menu
Here in Paris

[MARQUIS]
There's no overlooking
What is cooking
Here in Paris

[MARQUIS & WOMEN]
Liver with truffle
Make gourmеts unruffle
Oh, Paris, you always come through

[MARQUIS]
Cities in Italy
Swеden or Spain
Quite non-committally
Give us a pain

[TWO WOMEN]
Don't mention Tripoli
London or Rome

[MARQUIS & WOMEN]
We sing hip-hippilly:
No place like home
[MARQUIS]
Where have men more talent
For what's gallant
Than in Paris?
All the girls wear bodices
Like goddesses
In Paris
Bodices delightful
All are quite full
Here in Paris

[MARQUIS & WOMEN]
Paris, oh Paris
Your riches embarrass
So, Paris, we're singing of you
Paris, oh Paris
Your riches embarrass
So, Paris, we're singing of you

[NARRATOR, spoken]
Months have passed since last we met
Our hero, Cellini, tête-à-tête
And now in Paris he appears
But why the eyes so full of tears?
The independence which he craved
Has left him curiously enslaved
He's missed his favorite girl of all
Angela, his own belle-of-the-ball
His creative juices start to fizzle
He cannot even lift his chisel
Then suddenly his spirits rise
He hears some news that dries his eyes
The Duke and all his special friends
Will soon arrive to make amends
