Paris Original (From "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying") - Living Voices

I slipped out this afternoon

And bought some love insurance:

A most exclusive dress from gay Paree.

It’s sleek and chic and magnifique

With sex beyond endurance.

It’s me, it’s me, it’s absolutely me;

And why?

One guy.

This irresistible Paris original

I’m wearing tonight,

I’m wearing tonight

'Specially for him.

This irresistible Paris original’s

All paid for and mine;

I must look devine

'Specially for him.

Suddenly he will see me

And suddenly he’ll go dreamy

And blame it all on his own

Masculine whim,

Never knowing that

This irresistible Paris original,

So temptingly tight

I’m wearing tonight

'Specially for him, for him.

This irresistible Paris original,

I’m wearing tonight,

She’s wearing tonight

And I could spit.

Some irresponsible dress manufacturer

Just didn’t play fair.

I’m one of a pair,

And I could---oh no!

This irresistible Paris original,

All slinky with sin;

Already slunk in

And I could die.

And I could kill her.

This irresistible Paris original,

Tres sexy, n’est pas?

God damn it, voila

And I could spit.

Thirty-nine bucks I hand out

For something to make me stand out

And suddenly I’ve gone into mimeograph.

Some laugh!

This irresistible Paris original,

This mass-produced crime,

I’m wearing tonight

For the very last time!
