Lovers!

Lady Flower Seller:
Ooh La La!

Sophie:
Welcome, my friends, to Paris.
Here, have a flower on me.
Forget where you're from,
You're in France!
Children, come!
I'll show you that French joie de vivre!

Paris holds the key To your heart.
And all of Paris plays a part.

Accordion Player & Flower Seller:
Just stroll two by two
Down what we call "la rue"

Sophie & All:
And soon all Paris
Will be singing to you!
Ooh La La
Ooh La La
Ooh La La!

And not even Freud
Knows the cure.

The French have it down
to an art!

When you're feeling blue
Come to Le Moulin.
When your heart says don't,
The French say do!

Can Can Girls:
When you think you can't
You'll find you can can!

Sophie:
Everyone can can can!

Sophie & Can Can Girls:
You can can can too!
Whee!
Whee!
Whee!

Dimitri:
Paris holds the key to her past
Yes, Princess, I've found
you at last
No more pretend,
You'll be gone,
That's the end...

Ensemble:
Paris holds the key
To your heart!

You'll be "tres jolie" and so smart!

Come dance through the night

And forget all your woes.

The city of light

Where a rose is a rose!

Sophie & All:
And one never knows
what will start!
Paris
Holds the key...

Dimitri:
To her...

Sophie & All:

Sophie:
Ooh La La!

All:
Ooh La La!
