VERSE 01: Poor Johnny’s heart went pitty pitty pat,/Somewhere in sunny France./He met a girl by chance with ze naughty naughty glance,/She looked just like a kitty kitty cat,/She loved to dance and play,/Tho’ he learned no French when he left the trench,/He knew well enough to say: CHORUS: [Oui Oui Marie,/Wee Wee Marie,] will you do zis for me/[Oui Oui/Wee Wee] Marie, then I’ll do zat for you,/I love your eyes they make me feel so spoony,/You’ll drive me loony, you’re teasing me,/Why can’t we parley vous like other sweethearts do,/I want a kiss or two from Ma Cherie,/[Oui Oui/Wee Wee] Marie, if you’ll do zis for me/Then I’ll do zat for you,/[Oui Oui Marie,/Wee Wee Marie,]/[Oui Oui Marie./Wee Wee Marie.] VERSE 02: They walked along the boule boulevard,/He whispered “You for me,/Some day in gay Paree/I will make you marry me,”/Just then a bunch of bully bully boys,/Threw kisses on the sly,/Marie got wise when they rolled their eyes,/They sang as they passed her by. | |
