I WENT TO PARIS WITH PAPA. Copyright, 1895, by Francis. Day & Hunter. Words and Music by Leslie Stuart. 
They say I am a giddy maid, Not half enough in manners staid; I really try to be discreet; J've just come back from school in France, The matron led me such a dance, Although my education was complete; So papa came for me, To take me home, you see, He was so proud of me, you know, He said, "To Paris we will go, And there we'll stay for a week, So that your French you may speak; And when you go home to mamma, You'll tell her what you've seen. 
Chorus. I went to Paris with papa, to see what kind the Frenchmen are, Such funny ways they've got-Americans have not; You really should to Paris go; you learn so very much, you know; I saw a lot in Paris that they never taught in school. 
And when we came back to mamma, She gave a hall, with great eclat She said, "My dear, I'll bring you out; Now show them what you've learned in France, How well you sing, how well you dance; And, mind you, show what manners you've been taught." So when the dance began, I to my partner ran, I kicked my toes up in the air, I'd seen them do it over there; My cigarette I drew, French ladies do that, too, And our young curate blushed so When I sat upon his knee.- Chorus.
