Dressing for the night
For the ball for the dance
Dressing for the show
At the Paris Opera
Dressing for the pride
For the Gloire de la France
Dressing up to go
To the Paris Opera
It's a new season
And that's the reason
We buy these clothes by the row
Dressing for the fun
for the lights
For the glare
Dressing up to preen at the
Paris Opera
Dressing to descend
on a cloud on a stair
Dressing to be seen at the
Paris Opera
Paris Opera
Everyone will be there
Everyone will be there
Everyone
The corps de ballet
We actors will play
Our set so spectacular and grand
Arrive somewhat late
Make sure that you ate
Expect everyone to understand
With breathless surprise
The curtain will rise
Step out with a gesture
of the hand
Look through the lorgnette
And do not forget
Jamais
Never listen to the band
Dressing for the night
For the ball for the show
Dressing up to go to the
Paris Opera Paris Opera
Paris
Paris is a mask
Whatever you ask
she'll be for you
Paris
A night at maxims
A glorious dream
a rendez vous
A night at the Opera
trip to the ballet
Evening of theatre
all in a day
Paris
One view in the mist
And you have been
kissed from far away
Dressing for the night
For the ball for the show
Dressing up to go to the
Paris Opera Paris Opera
Paris is the rain
Paris is a mask
Paris is the night for me
Dressing for the night
For the ball for the show
For the ball
For the night
For the show
Paris
Paris
