lyrics

Jacques Brel and his accordion snore quietly in "D"
Pierre Boulez is counting sheep duodecaphonically

For it's bedtime here in Paris

The Eiffel Tower stands there blinking
Boys are riding mopeds, and drinking.
Cabaret girls are kicking up their legs.

Yet it's bedtime here in Paris
Still it's bedtime here in Paris

The politicians have cigars
and they are making secret deals with the Kremlin.
The ambassador from Poland is sipping his third scotch.
If they were all asleep in bed, everyone would be a little safer.
The river goes by gently;
You can stand here on the bridge and watch.

For it's bedtime here in Paris
Getting later, here in Paris

The river goes by gently,
the night conductor is pocketing the fares.
The boys have put away their mopeds,
they are heading up their stairs.
Miss Nadia dreams of Lili, and settles in her bed.
Very soon the boulanger will be awake to start the bread.

And it's bedtime, here in Paris.
Yes it's bedtime, here in Paris.
