THE RIVIERA
ON EVERY STREET A GAY CASINO
WHERE CONTINENTALS SIP THEIR VINO
AND LEAVE THEIR FORTUNES TO CHANCE
THE RIVIERA
WHERE MATRONS DRAPED IN PARIS FASHIONS
PROLONG THE TWILIGHT OF THEIR PASSIONS
IN MAD PURSUIT OF ROMANCE
EVERY GAY MADEMOISELLE
IS DISARMING SOME MAHARAJAH
WITH THE DARING OF HER [INCOMPREHENSIBLE]
LIFE IS SO COMPLETELY ZANY AND FREE
BY THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
AH, THE RIVIERA
WHERE EVERY GOLDEN COAT OF SUN TAN
HAS COST THE GOLD OF MORE THAN ONE MAN
WHO WASN'T WARNED IN ADVANCE
HE MAY TAKE TO HIS HEART
ALL THE WONDERS OF FRANCE
THEN AS A TOKEN FOR THE DOUGH THAT HE'S SUNK
HE GETS A LITTLE LABEL SLAPPED ON HIS TRUNK

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD, THAT'S A PRETTY NAME
IT EVEN SOUNDS LIKE A GAME
IN A GREEN FIELD, HOBBY HORSES PLAY THE DUSTY GAME WHEN IT'S MAY
PINK AND PAISLEY SKIES SHINING IN GREEN EYES
A MAGIC PIN WHEEL
LONDON FLOWERS IN HER HAIR
DUSTY SPRINGFIELD
SILVER STARSHINE OVER CRYSTAL WATERS
PETALS FALL FROM HER GLANCE
FLOWERS SPARKLE
WITH A DEW OF MORNING, FEATHERS FLOAT FROM HER DANCE
SUDDENLY THE SONG'S THE THING
FILL YOUR CUP, COME TO THE SPRING
AND YOU'LL STAND SO STILL
AND YOU'LL FEEL THE THRILL
DUSTY SPRINGFIELD, THAT'S A PRETTY NAME
PRETTY AS A PEARL
WHAT A PRETTY GIRL

LOVE IS LIKE A NEVER ENDING MELODY
POETS HAVE COMPARED IT TO A SYMPHONY
A SYMPHONY CONDUCTED BY THE LIGHTING OF THE MOON
BUT OUR SONG OF LOVE IS SLIGHTLY OUT OF TUNE
ONCE YOUR KISSES RAISED ME TO A FEVER PITCH
NOW THE ORCHESTRATION DOESN'T SEEM SO RICH
SEEMS TO ME YOU'VE CHANGED THE TUNE WE USED TO SING
LIKE THE BOSSA NOVA LOVE SHOULD SWING
WE USED TO HARMONIZE TWO SOULS IN PERFECT TIME
NOW THE SONG IS DIFFERENT AND THE WORDS DON'T EVEN RHYME
'CAUSE YOU FORGOT THE MELODY OUR HEARTS WOULD ALWAYS CROON
WHAT GOOD'S A HEART THAT'S SLIGHTLY OUT OF TUNE?
TUNE YOUR HEART WITH MINE THE WAY IT USED TO BE
JOIN WITH ME IN HARMONY AND SING A SONG OF LOVIN'
WE'RE BOUND TO GET IN TUNE AGAIN BEFORE TOO LONG
THERE'LL BE NO DESAFINADO WHEN YOUR HEART BELONGS TO ME COMPLETELY
THEN YOU WON'T BE SLIGHTLY OUT OF TUNE, YOU'LL SING ALONG WITH ME!
TUNE YOUR HEART WITH MINE THE WAY IT USED TO BE
JOIN WITH ME IN HARMONY AND SING A SONG OF LOVIN'
WE'RE BOUND TO GET IN TUNE AGAIN BEFORE TOO LONG
THERE'LL BE NO DESAFINADO WHEN YOUR HEART BELONGS TO ME COMPLETELY
THEN YOU WON'T BE SLIGHTLY OUT OF TUNE, YOU'LL SING ALONG WITH ME!

I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO.
HIGH ON A HILL IT CALLS TO ME
TO BE WHERE LITTLE CABLE CARS
CLIMB HALFWAY TO THE STARS!
THE MORNING FOG MAY CHILL THE AIR,
I DON'T CARE!
MY LOVE WAITS THERE IN SAN FRANCISCO,
ABOVE THE BLUE AND WINDY SEA.
WHEN I COME HOME TO YOU, SAN FRANCISCO,
YOUR GOLDEN SUN WILL SHINE FOR ME!
I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO.
HIGH ON A HILL IT CALLS TO ME
TO BE WHERE LITTLE CABLE CARS
CLIMB HALFWAY TO THE STARS!
THE MORNING FOG MAY CHILL THE AIR,
I DON'T CARE!
MY LOVE WAITS THERE IN SAN FRANCISCO,
ABOVE THE BLUE AND WINDY SEA.
WHEN I COME HOME TO YOU, SAN FRANCISCO,
