A merry dance in Paris

Paris, another day in paradise, ma cherie
but are you lonesome tonight, just like me?
Say you, say me, say what only you can say
and abracadabra, its a joyous day.

I Heard It Through the Grapevine you were near,
thought no, but I'm a believer since you're here.
I saw your shadow dancing on the wall
but he's no one, for romancing in the hall.

Can one sweet day, my happiness be true,
no more tossin' and turnin over you.
Hey Jude, you understand how much I pray,
How do I live without you, night and day?

Remember that old heavy, Mack the Knife?
Well he's smooth now and settled with a wife.
The twist for him inspires hope for me,
do attend my fervent, loving plea!

Keith, the happy chappy

Sorry Lori,

(Inadvertent rhyming there)
Post has been moved so you can remove this.
I'm a simple rhymer, with the emphasis on simple.

Keith, the happy chappy
