Parisians
The real Paris article Paris Madame
goes trailing its tricolored flag
Paris spits a pink fire to Fascism's shimmy
An
autobus flames here and there
From the open news-stands flows the block blood of print
Drab ambulances
run a screaming border round the crazy crowd
Old men waving their arms at streetcomers
white beards of heroism
Diamonds lean from the windows of Rolls-Royces
In the disembowelled shopwindows
novelty gloves are kidnaping shoes
Nice weather we're having I'll wager
an evening like this
ought to be good for the high class trade
A boost for the fashion business Come on
trail your tricolored flag
Ah it's our old Paris our wartime Paris
singing the Madelon and wearing
the policeman's cap The coppers
they'Ie all right
The coppers
are with us
The coppers were killed in the war you know
lik:e anybody else
The coppers
