Party In Paris Lyrics
There's a bottle in the corner
That's where I'm gonna stay
Just me and my bottle of French wine
We're gonna drink the night away
Nobody comes, nobody knocks on the door
My friends are far away
If the telephone don't start ringing
It's gonna be a bad bad day
Ooh la la la Ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
I turn on the radio
But I don't like what they play
So I put a record on the stereo
Just to pass this night away
It's twelve'o'clock, I can see them now
They're dancing the night away
Little Jimmy's dressed as Fred Astaire
So wrecked the band can't play.
Ooh la la la Ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
I can smell the French perfume
While I sit here in despair
I Think I'll open another bottle
And I'll make believe I'm there.
Meanwhile back in London
Seems a million miles away
I'm lookin' at my invitation
With no ticket for a train
Ooh la la la Ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
That's where I'm gonna stay
Just me and my bottle of French wine
We're gonna drink the night away
My friends are far away
If the telephone don't start ringing
It's gonna be a bad bad day
There's a party in Paris Palais
But I don't like what they play
So I put a record on the stereo
Just to pass this night away
They're dancing the night away
Little Jimmy's dressed as Fred Astaire
So wrecked the band can't play.
There's a party in Paris Palais
While I sit here in despair
I Think I'll open another bottle
And I'll make believe I'm there.
Seems a million miles away
I'm lookin' at my invitation
With no ticket for a train
There's a party in Paris Palais

this song is awesome. end.of.
he has no way to get to the best party ever. he feels left out. so he just starts drinking alone.
I think it was the aftershow party for a Stiff Little Fingers gig in Paris that Charlie was on the guest list for - couldn't afford to get there, hadn't got time to hitch , you know how it is! Captain Sensible played the keyboards at the end of the song.
