When Yankee Doodle Learns To "Parlez Vous Français"
Composer(s): Will Hart; Ed. Nelson
When Yankee Doodle came to Paris town
Upon his face he wore a little frown
To those he'd meet upon the street
he couldn't speak a word
To find a Miss that he could kiss it seemed to be absurd
But if this Yankee should stay there awhile
Upon his face you're bound to see a smile
Soon Yankee Doodle he left Paris town
Upon his face there was a coat of brown
For every man of Uncle Sam was fighting in a trench
Between each shell, they learned quite well to speak a little French
When Yankee Doodle gets back to Paree
He'll break a million hearts take it from me
When Yankee Doodle learns to Parlez vous Français
Parlez vous Français, in the proper way
He will call each girlie "Ma Chérie"
To every Miss that wants a kiss he'll say
Wee, Wee On Ze Be, On Ze Bou, On Ze Boule, Boulevard
With a girl, with a curl, you can see him promenade
When Yankee Doodle learns to Parlez vous Français
"Oo La La, Sweet Papa" he will teach them all to say
