Paris Holds the Key (To Your Heart) Lyrics by Jonathan Dokuchitz, Bernadette Peters

Anastasia (Music from the Motion Picture)

1997

[ACCORDION PLAYER]
Lovers!
[LADY FLOWER SELLER]
Ooh-la-la
[SOPHIE]
Welcome, my friends, to Paris
Here, have a flower on me
Forget where you're from, you're in France
Children, come! I'll show you that French joie de vivre
Paris holds the key to your heart
And all of Paris plays a part
[TWINS]
You'll stroll two by two
[FLOWER SELLER]
Down what we call "la rue"
[SOPHIE & ENSEMBLE]
And soon, all Paris will be singing to you
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la
[MAURICE CHEVALIER]
Paris holds the key to l'amour
[FREUD]
Und not even Freud knows the cure
[AVIATOR]
There's love in the air
[JOSEPHINE BAKER]
At the Folies Bergère
[ARTISTE]
The French have it down to an art
[ENSEMBLE]
Paris holds the key to your heart
Ooh-la-la
[SOPHIE]
When you're feeling blue, come to Le Moulin
When your heart says, "Don't," the French say, "Do"
[CAN CAN GIRLS]
When you think you can't, you'll find you can, can
[CAN CAN GIRLS & SOPHIE]
Everyone can, can, can
[SOPHIE]
You can, can, can too
[CAN CAN GIRLS]
Whee!
Whee, whee, whee!
[DIMITRI]
Paris holds the key to her past
Yes, Princess, I've found you at last
No more pretend
You'll be gone, that's the end
[ENSEMBLE]
Paris holds the key to your heart
[COUTURIER]
You'll be très jolie and so smart
[ISADORA DUNCAN]
Come dance through the night
[RODIN]
And forget all your woes
[SOPHIE & ENSEMBLE]
The city of light
[GERTRUDE STEIN]
Where a rose is a rose
[SOPHIE & ENSEMBLE]
And one never knows what will start
Paris holds the key
[DIMITRI]
To her
[SOPHIE & ENSEMBLE]
Heart
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
[POOKA barks]
