**Paris Cabaret** *(medium-up swing · big-band · room for brass punches & scat)* **Intro** (brushes + soft piano, spoken/sung) Paris Cabaret… that was the old good time. Unforgettable. Part of the intense life we lived. You remember? Sure you do… doo-doo… doo-doo… **Verse 1** Smoke curled blue above the tables, bandstand glowing like a second moon. Duke lifts one finger — the whole room breathes, and the night starts moving in 4/4. We were young enough to believe a song could hold the whole damn city, that the brass would keep the rain outside and the champagne would never quit. **Chorus** Paris Cabaret — that was the old good time, unforgettable, part of the intense life living. You remember? Sure you do… doo-doo… doo-doo… Duke and his jazz-big-band orchestra turning ordinary hours into gold. Paris Cabaret… still swinging in the blood. **Verse 2** Late trains, open collars, lipstick on the glass, somebody laughing too loud at the bar. Reeds talking in code, trombones answering back, we danced like the floor belonged to us. Those nights never asked for tomorrow. They only asked if you were still awake, still hungry for the next chorus, still ready to let the music decide. **Bridge** (half-time feel, then open up) Time changed the streets outside, closed a few of the old doors… but the memory keeps perfect time — one… two… three… four… and we’re back at the table again, watching Duke smile while the band takes flight. **Final Chorus / Outro** Paris Cabaret — that was the old good time, unforgettable, part of the intense life living. You remember? Sure you do… doo-doo… doo-doo… Duke and his jazz-big-band orchestra still playing somewhere in the dark. Paris Cabaret… we never really left. (doo-doo… doo-doo…)
