Lyrics

Poor Paris Blues

Juliet! Juliet! How I wish we'd never met
Juliet! Juliet! How I wish we'd never met
Who is that so and so
Holding you close and dancing slow?

Sweet flower! Sweet flower! Who's leaning from your ivory tower
Sweet flower! Sweet flower! Who's dreaming of your ivory tower
Who is that so and so
Holding you close and dancing slow?

Rosaline! Rosaline! This morning Juliet was mine
Rosaline! Rosaline! He wooed you till he saw mine
Take back your so and so
He's holding my girl and dancing slow!

Times of woe! Times of woe! Must I confess to love her so?
Times of woe! Times of woe! Suddenly I need her so
Who's this upstart Romeo
Holding her close and dancing so slow?

Break

Juliet! Juliet! How I wish we'd never met
Juliet! Juliet! How I wish we'd never met
Who is this Romeo
Holding you close and dancing so slow?

Here among the dust and stones
Holding you close and dancing slow
