Down in Bowery they lose their ballads
And their lipped mouths in the night
And stumbling through the street they say
"Sir do you got a light"
And if you do then you're my friend
And if you don't then you're my foe
And if you are a deity of any sort then please don't go

Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas ah ah ah
Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas

Down in Lexington they walk in new shoes stuck to aging feet
And close their eyes and open
And recognize the aging street
And think about the things were right
When they were young and veins were tight
And if you are the ghost of Christmas past
Then won't you stay the night

Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas ah ah ah
Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas oh oh oh
Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas ah ah ah
Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas

Down in Bronxy Bronx the kids go
Sledding down snow covered slopes
And frozen noses, frozen toes
And the frozen city starts to glow
And yes, they know that it will melt
And yes, they know New York will thaw
But if you’re a friend of any sort
Then play along and catch a cold

Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas ah ah ah
Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas oh oh oh
Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas ah ah ah
Ne me quitte pas mon cher
Ne me quitte pas

I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain
I love I love in the rain
Oh I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain
I Love I love in the rain
Oh I love I love in the rain
Oh I love I love in the rain
Oh I love I love in the rain...
