about

Guaranteed to raise a smile, this Triplets of Belleville-style romp draws on the hot jazz stylings of Paris in the ‘20. Fuelled by percolating rhythm and exquisite harmonies, it culminates in an exhilarating singalong ending, complete with sleigh bells and a Disney-esque soundscape of plucking violins. The delightful song lyrics express one woman’s fantasy to escape after enduring the drudgery of Christmas preparations, jetting off to Paris for a swanky good time, eating escargots and drinking wine on the banks of the Seine.

lyrics

The snow is soflty falling, the tree has all been trimmed
The wreath is on the window, I brought the firewood in
The gifts are wrapped so lovingly, the stockings hung with care
But if you're looking for me well, I won't be anywhere

I'll be in Paris for Christmas. I booked the flight just yesterday
I'm gonna climb the eiffel tower
And drink some champagne on the Champs Elysee ( Ooh la la la)
Yes I'll be in Paris for Christmas
Don't call me cause I'm turning off my phone,
I left the turkey in the freezer, and this year you can stuff it on your own

I'm trading turnips for Escargots
I'm trading gravy for Fondu
I'm gonna smile right back at the Mona Lisa
Stroll along the boulevard with a shopping bag or two
There is no better time for peace on earth
I'll toast to that by candle-light
While you're enjoying the sounds of the children running round
I'll be having very first SILENT NIGHT!

Quote: La Vie En Rose

Ce noel je serai en Paris
Je pratiquerai parler francai ( Bon-jour!)
Je me bagnerai dans la Siene
Avec une baguette et un stylish baret

Ce noel je serai en Paris
Je voudrais essayer le Fois Gras
Il y a une dinde danse la freezer
et vous pouvez la remplir sans moi!

I'll be in Paris for Christmas
Dear family I truly wish you well
I'll be eating brie in my bathrobe
and lounging around in a five star hotel
I'll be in Paris for Christmas
And maybe hey! Next year I'll go to Rome
I left the turkey in the freezer, my dear
And this year you can stuff it on your own
