Paris Original
[ROSEMARY]
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 divine
'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
Uh!
She's wearing tonight
And I could spit!
Some irresponsible dress manufacturer
Just didn't play fair
I'm one of a pair
[ROSEMARY & WOMAN]
And I could—
[ROSEMARY & WOMAN, spoken]
Oh no!
[MISS KRUMHOLTZ]
This irresistible Paris original
All slinky with sin
Already slunk in
And I could die!
[ROSEMARY & WOMAN]
And I could kill her!
[ROSEMARY, WOMAN & MISS KRUMHOLTZ]
And I could—
[SMITTY]
This irresistible Paris original
Tres sexy, n'est-ce pas?
Goddamit! Voilà!
[ROSEMARY, WOMAN, MISS KRUMHOLTZ & SMITTY]
And I could spit!
[WOMEN, variously, spoken]
Oh no!
One more!
Good Lord!
You! Me! Her! She!
Oh, oh
[MISS JONES, spoken]
Good evening, ladies
[WOMEN, spoken]
Oh
[WOMEN]
Thirty-nine bucks I hand out
For something to made me stand out
And suddenly I've gone into mimeograph
[MISS JONES, spoken]
Some laugh!
[WOMEN]
This irresistible Paris original
This mass produced crime
I'm wearing tonight
For the very last time!
