[ti:Poppa Don't Preach To Me] [ar:Lena Horne] [al:Anthology - Deluxe Edition] [offset:0] [00:00.39]On a Paris boulevarde, [00:02.63]I picked up a postal card [00:04.57] [00:05.19]Someone had forgotten to mail; [00:08.38]Seems as though some tourist had [00:11.37]Meant for it to reach her dad, [00:14.24]For it told a typical tale! [00:17.56] [00:18.69]Naturally I read what she wrote, [00:22.30]This is what she said, and I quote; [00:25.17] [00:26.98]I came to Paris to buy me a gown, [00:31.51]To Paris, to Paris, and boy what a town! [00:36.25]The lights were sparkling, the music was gay, [00:40.68]I bought me my gown and decided to stay!

[00:54.16]Now poppa don't preach to me, preach to me, poppa don't preach to me, [00:59.03]Let me fling till my fling is flung! [01:04.27] [01:08.80]I danced in Paris last night with Pierre, [01:12.99]That "x" marks my room, but I'm never up there! [01:16.85] [01:17.48]I strolled through Paris today with my niece, [01:21.91]The "Rue De La Paix" means "The Street Of The Peace". [01:26.26]I'm here in Paris since early May, [01:30.98]My gown got all worn out but I'm still okay! [01:34.91] [01:35.54]I'm made for Paris, I'm finding it out, [01:39.65]I still have no pass but my future's in doubt! [01:43.92]Now poppa don't preach to me, preach to me, poppa don't preach to me, [01:48.72]Let my heart break, let it roam! [01:52.29]Now poppa don't preach to me, preach to me, poppa don't preach to me, [01:57.03]I'll never, no I'll never come home! [02:00.99] [02:01.50]No poppa, don't preach to me! [02:03.93] [02:05.61]And don't make some nonsense speech to me! [02:08.98] [02:10.35]Aw come on baby, don't bug me! [02:12.66]I'll never, never come home!
