How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying the Musical - Paris Original Lyrics


The song is written by Frank Loesser.

ROSEMARY
I slipped down this afternoon
And bought some love insurance.
A most exclusive dress from gay Paree.
It's slick, and chick, and magnifique,
With sex beyond endurance.
It's me, it's me, it's absolutely me.

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

MISS KRUMHOLTZ
This irresistible
Paris original's
I'll pay for a night.
I must look divine.
Specially for him.

Suddenly he will see me,
And suddenly he'll go dream me.
And blame it all long
His own masculine will.
Never knowing that.

This irresistible,
Paris original,
So tempt really 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!

Someone irresponsible
Dress manufacturer
just didn't play fair.
I'm one of a pair.
And I could...

ROSEMARY & MISS KRUMHOLTZ
Oh! No!

SMITTY
This irresistible,
Paris original,

MISS KRUMHOLTZ
All sticking with seam,
Already supreme
And I could die!

ROSEMARY
And I could kill her!

BOTH
And I could...

SMITTY
This irresistible,
Paris original,
Tres sexy, nes pas.
God dammed! Voi la!

ALL
And I could spit!

ROSEMARY
Oh! No!

MISS KRUMHOLTZ
One more!

SMITTY
Good Lord!

ROSEMARY
You...

MISS KRUMHOLTZ
Me...

SMITTY
Her...

BOTH
She...

FINCH
Good evening, ladies.

ALL
Oh!
39 bucks I hand out,
For something to made me stand out,
And suddenly I've got into menial ground.

Some left!

ALL
This irresistible,
Paris original,
This mess had its prime
I'm wearing tonight.
For the very last time.
