B♭What do I hear, what do I hear?
GmChit-chat, and clinking glass
A♭Cheap talk, a lady's laugh
FAfter hours

B♭What do I see, what do I see?
GmSome sunken hideaway
A♭Where people go to play
FAfter hours

E♭There I'll spend the night
B♭Meeting fancy things
GmAt bistros and old haunts
Trying very hard to
Fsin

B♭Then it is day end in a way
GmThe pattern's much the same
A♭In-spots, a matinee
FEvery day

B♭Blend with the crowd, blend with the loud
GmHypnotic ebb and flow
A♭Until the day goes slowly
FInto night

E♭See the same old crowd
B♭At bistros and old haunts
Gm'Til the lights grow dim,
The not-so-subtle hint to be
F

Chorus
C♯Thank God it's not Christmas
When there is
E♭only you, and nothing else to do
C♯Thank God it's not Christmas
Where there's just
E♭you to do. The rest is closed to public
Fview

B♭Caroling kids, caroling kids
GmA trifle premature,
A♭in tones so rich and pure and
Fcrystalline

B♭Call for the day, the popular day
GmIt's fast approaching now
A♭But will the mood allow
FOne dissent

E♭If this were the Seine
B♭We'd be very suave
GmBut it's just the rain washing down the
bouleFvard

Chorus
B♭Popular days, the popular ways
GmAre for the chosen few
A♭Not meant for me and you
FObviously

B♭Popular nights, poplar rites
GmGreat things to say and do
A♭Aren't said or done by you
FObviously

E♭If this were Seine
B♭We'd be very suave
GmBut it's just the rain washing down the
bouleFvard
