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: Wee Wee Marie, will you do zis for me/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 the other sweethearts do,/I want a kiss or two from Ma Cherie,/Wee Wee Marie if you’ll do zis for me then I’ll do zat for you,/Wee Wee Marie, Wee Wee Marie. VERSE 02: They walked along the boule boulevard,/He whispered “You for me, some day in gray 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. | |
