What's the world without Paris?
What are all its Joys 10 me,
When that lovely town no longer
Lures me from beyond the sea?

Bursting sobs our grief reveal,
When i dream of days OF shopping.
And Jack murmuTs, "AAi AobIIie."
All, those vanished days Of Parisl
kneeling Counts of ancient birth,
Begging curls BY Cherrel twisted
Jumping dresses built by Worth,
Oh! the German at the palace!
Led by that dear Marquis Caux-
With the Empress on the dais,
While Strauss ruled the floor below.
Blissful days with thee, Bon Marcia!
Gas-lit nights with thee, Musardl
Hew my sad feet die 20 press thee
Asphalt of the Boulevard
How the hours fed, winged with rapture:
Hinged with gold Times dropping sands.
In that waste of silks and cashmeres
In the Compagnie des Indies.
All the Germans in the palace,
But no more the dancers 20,
Swayed by STRAUSS magic baton,
And the gloved hand OF De Caux.

For the balls that fill the air,
And no more she sings with Schneider.
