"Paris in the Springtime" (also known as "Oui, My Friends") is the eleventh song featured in Total Drama World Tour. It is sung in "Can't Help Falling in Louvre," with Sierra being the main singer, and Owen and Noah having brief solos. The song is about Sierra venting her recently hurt feelings towards Cody, after he voted for her in the previous episode, displaying her frustration with him for voting for her after all the kindness she showed him.
Lyrics[]
Sierra: I love Paris in the springtime!
Je t'aime Paris in the fall!
Cody: That's great, Sierra! Keep going!
Sierra: It's the city of love in the summer!
But now, it's just a bummer! 'Cause...
Cody broke my heart and chewed it up and spit it out and then, stepped on it and threw it down a sewer and called it names and then laughed!
Oui, my friends! You must never trust a boy!
Oui, my friends! They will treat you like a toy!
Oui, my friends! They will-!
Aww...
Break your heart and chew it up and spit it out and step on it and throw it down a sewer and call it names, and then laugh!
Cody: Wait up, Sierra!
Owen: Oui, my friend! You are going to make it through!
Noah: Um, non, my friend. That thing just burned off my shoe.
Sierra: Oui, my friends! All I did was love him true!
Heather: Cody! What are you doing?
Cody: I'm trying!
Sierra: Oui, my friends! Now, I'm stuck telling you...
If you fall in love with a boy on TV, and then audition to get on his show, and then audition again, and finally get on his show, and be nice to him and do nothing but kiss-up, you will still-
Oui, end up in Paris!
Oui, feeling disparaisse!
And the boy won't even take you outside-eee!
Heather: All she wants to do is go outside?! Do it, Cody!

- When Sierra sings, "Oui, my friends! All I did was love him true," there are two paintings behind her; one is of a man, and the other is of a skull with a candle on it. However, after Heather yells at Cody, the two pictures change. They return to normal when Sierra is singing, "Oui, end up in Paris!"
