The Riviera Full Lyrics

The Riviera On every street a gay casino Where continentals sip their vino And leave their fortunes to chance The Riviera Where matrons draped in Paris fashions Prolong the twilight of their passions In mad pursuit of romance Every gay mademoiselle Is disarming some Maharajah With the daring of her [Incomprehensible] Life is so completely zany and free By the Mediterranean sea Ah, the Riviera Where every golden coat of sun tan Has cost the gold of more than one man Who wasn't warned in advance He may take to his heart All the wonders of France Then as a token for the dough that he's sunk He gets a little label slapped on his trunk The Riviera The Riviera On every street a gay casino Where continentals sip their vino And leave their fortunes to chance The Riviera Where matrons draped in Paris fashions Prolong the twilight of their passions In mad pursuit of romance Every gay mademoiselle Is disarming some Maharajah With the daring of her [Incomprehensible] Life is so completely zany and free By the Mediterranean sea Ah, The Riviera Where every golden coat of sun tan Has cost the gold of more than one man Who wasn't warned in advance He may take to his heart All the wonders of France Then as a token for the dough that he's sunk He gets a little label slapped on his trunk The Riviera
