Subject:
Place/Paris/France/Odessa/Napolian/Tsar
Additional song notes:
The instrumental tuen after the first chorus is a traditional dance tune, from the Golus Storytheatre production, God In Paris, Life in France is like and endless Sinckhes Toyre, the Festival of the Rejoicing of the Law - even God lives better in Paris, the women are beautiful, you can curse the Tsar to your hearrts content and laugh yourself silly at easter, Every day is Purim, Sobriety is unknown in Paris, where they live under the Napoleonic code instead of the Tsar's ukase. So get on the train, say kaddish for poland, because in france it's always Simkhes Toyre
