Oh Paris Lyrics

He learned early if you want somebody, go all the way-ay

So when he met her and he fell in love, he just stole her away-ay

Oh Paris



He crept ho-ome in the dead of night and the people say-ay

(You should have known better)

If you love a man, put up a fight, don't run away-ay

(He should have known better)

Oh Paris



Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes, I ain't tellin' you lie-ies

I said it's just a disguise and look out Paris

You should have known better, oh-oh

Oh Paris, you should have known better

Oh-oh Paris, you should have known better



Well her people wanted Helen back, with Paris' head in a sack

(They should have known better)

They were lean and sleek and mean and Greek and they want her back

(They should have known better)

Oh Paris



Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes, I ain't tellin' you lie-ies

I said it's just a disguise, and look out Paris

You should have known better, oh-oh

Oh Paris, you should have known better, oh-oh

Oh Paris, you should have known better



They didn't mess around, they want to burn it down

They wanna tear up the town, raise the joint to the ground

They had a thousand longboats and over ten thousand me-en

And they were all stormin' the walls, again and again and again

Guess they should have known better

Oh Paris, they should have known better

Oh Paris, they should have known better



Troy's too high, too strong to die-ie, to useless force

(They should have known better)

When your spears and swords and your arrows fail, use a wooden horse

(They should have played fairer)

Oh-oh Paris



Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes (for God's sake)

I ain't tellin' you lie-ies (for God's sake), I said it's just a disguise

Look out Paris, you should have known better

Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes (for God's sake)

I ain't tellin' you lie-ies (for God's sake), it's just a disguise

Look out Paris, you should have known better, oh-oh

Oh Paris, you should have known better, oh-oh

Oh Paris, you should have known better

Oh...oh Paris, you shold have known better

Oh Paris, Oh-oh Paris, you should have known better

Oh-oh Paris, you should have known better
