"Paris Original" lyrics - FRANK LOESSER

["How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" soundtrack]

I slipped out this afternoon
And bought some love insurance:
A most exclusive dress from gay Paree.

It's sleek and chic and magnifique
With sex beyond endurance.
It's me, it's me, it's absolutely me;
And why? One guy.

This irresistible Paris original
I'm wearing tonight,
I'm wearing tonight
'Specially for him.

This irresistible Paris original's
All paid for and mine;
I must look devine
'Specially for him.

Suddenly he will see me
And suddenly he'll go dreamy
And blame it all on his own
Masculine whim,
Never knowing that

This irresistible Paris original,
So temptingly tight
I'm wearing tonight
'Specially for him, for him.

This irresistible Paris original,
I'm wearing tonight,
She's wearing tonight
And I could spit.

Some irresponsible dress manufacturer
Just didn't play fair.
I'm one of a pair,
And I could-oh no!

This irresistible Paris original,
All slinky with sin;
Already slunk in
And I could die.
And I could kill her.

This irresistible Paris original,
Tres sexy, n'est pas?
God damn it, voila
And I could spit.

Thirty-nine bucks I hand out
For something to make me stand out
And suddenly I've gone into mimeograph.
Some laugh!

This irresistible Paris original,
This mass-produced crime,
I'm wearing tonight
For the very last time!
