George Abud - Pari Will Always Be Pari Lyrics

[MARINETTI]
Right here, easy, life is sweet
We don't have much but enough to eat
Keep the butter on ice for the flaky pastry
That makes the other nations green with envy

Ah-ha, Ah-ha, Ah-ah, Ah-ha
Ah-ha, Ah-ha

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Ah-ha, Ah-ha, Ah-ah, Ah-ha
Ah-ha, Ah-ha

[MARINETTI]
We've come through the Great War
And now that's done
There will never be another one
That's what they told you when you lost your son

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[MARINETTI]
There's a stock market crash across the sea
Sentiment une tragédie
But that won't affect us, here in Pari
Pari will always be Pari

Right?
Pari will always be Pari

[ART DEALER, spoken]
Yes, I see what you mean. More work like this

[TAMARA, spoken]
I've got more

[ART DEALER, spoken]
Then I can fit her in; early next year

[TAMARA, spoken]
I heard there's an opening next month

[ART DEALER, spoken]
You'd need thirty pieces

[TAMARA, spoken]
I've got thirty pieces

[MARINETTI, spoken]
You do?

[TAMARA, spoken]
I will

[MARINETTI]
There's a controversy heard 'round the world
Concerning women and girls
Is it too high, the new hemline?
The latest hat, let go, that's mine!

[MARINETTI and ENSEMBLE]
We've come through the great war
And now that's done
There will never be another one
That's the reason your husband's gone

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

There's a fire in the Reichstag in Germany
Sentiment une tragédie
But that won't affect us, here in Pari
Pari will always be Pari

Pari will always be Pari
Pari will always be

[TAMARA]
Paintings can be turned to money
Money can be turned to jewelry
In case we have to leave in the middle of the night
In case, in case, in case, in case

Paintings can be turned to money
Pigment can be turned to jewelry
Paint will never sleep in the middle of the night
Cobalt, viridian, cocaine, valerian

Paintings can be turned to money-

[KIZETTE, spoken]
Cherie, coffee

[TAMARA]
Money can- ah, Kizette, merci
In case we have to leave in the middle of the night
Time for bed now

[KIZETTE, spoken]
I'm not a baby

[TAMARA]
Paintings can-

[KIZETTE, spoken]
Cherie, coffee

[BARONESS, spoken]
What about Germany?

[TAMARA]
Money, Kizette, merci

[BARON, spoken]
Just a little unrest

[TAMARA]
Middle of the night
Where's your father?

[KIZETTE, spoken]
He's out with a lady

[TAMARA]
Paintings-

[KIZETTE, spoken]
Cherie, coffee

[BARONESS, spoken]
Germany?

[TAMARA]
Money

[BARON, spoken]
Just a little unrest

[BARONESS, spoken]
What about Hitler?

[TAMARA]
Middle of the night

[BARON, spoken]
He's a joke

[BARONESS, spoken]
That joke got elected

[RAFAELA, spoken]
You're late

[TAMARA, spoken]
Couldn't get away

[RAFAELA, spoken]
I'm drunk

[TAMARA, spoken]
Good God, the way you smell. You make me dizzy, just the scent of your skin. I've missed you

[RAFAELA, spoken]
Sweet talk

[TAMARA]
You make me weak

[RAFAELA]
I make you strong

[TOGETHER]
Breathing closer til the dawn

[MARINETTI, spoken]
The new woman is taking over Paris. She's driving an automobile. She's wearing pants. She even wants to vote. And now the new woman has her own painter

[ENSEMBLE]
Our time

[MARINETTI, spoken]
Tamara de Lempicka finds inspiration in the women she sees daily in Paris

[ENSEMBLE]
Our time

[MARINETTI, spoken]
Women with hard edges and intoxicating curves

[ENSEMBLE]
Our time

[MARINETTI, spoken]
Her first solo show opening tonight, the place to see and be seen

[ENSEMBLE]
Whoa-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

[TAMARA]
Woman is plane, lines, form
Woman is plane, color, light

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Our time

[TAMARA]
Woman is speed, shattered
Woman is

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Our time
Our time

[MARINETTI]
We've come through the Great War
Those days are done
There can never be another one
An endless peace now, under the sun

Whoa

[TAMARA, overlapping]
Paintings must be turned to money
Money must be-

[MARINETTI]
And they're building tanks in the factories
Sentiment une tragédie
But that won't affect us, here in Pari
Pari will always be

[MARINETTI and ENSEMBLE]
Pari will always be
Pari will always be

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Pari will always be

[MARINETTI]
Pari
