The train pulled into Paris
Like a rocket to the moon
The station's like a circus
Every face is a cartoon
And everyone's stoned on pride
And drunk on cheap champagne
Tonight this joie de vivre
Sure don't live up to its name
Now all I can say is

(Chorus)
I'd give this world to you
Every rock and every stone
Every masterpiece in Rome
And if you'd ask me to
I'd steal the Mona Lisa
Tear it up in little pieces
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you
Paris

Aristicats are everywhere
And the air is as thick as thieves
She'd like nothing better than to
Steal the breath from me
And the tower's lights ain't shinin'
As it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of American blood
On the streets of St. Germain
Washin' up into the Seine

(Chorus)

And I'd give this world to you
I'd steal the crown and kingdom
From the Queen of England
And if you'd ask me to
I'd take this city in my hands
Break it down to grains of sand
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you
Paris
