| Lyrics | Frenchy, Come To Yankee Land Verse: You remember Rosie Green who went across the sea, And fell in love with soldier Jean, a chap from gay Paree, She just returned so angry and they say she’s feeling blue, Because her Frenchy taught another girl to parle-vous, But Rosie got a lonesome spell today, then quickly sent this cablegram away. Refrain: Frenchy, come over Frenchy, I’m sorry dearie, I made you cry, But when you smiled at K-K-K-K-Katy I was angry and said goodbye, Bring all the kissing that you promised your little Rose in No Man’s Land, And pack up your La-La’s in your old kit bag and Frenchy come to Yankee Land. Verse: Rosie waited for a day but Jean had not replied, She quickly figured out a way to bring him to her side, Beneath the kitchen window she prepared a lovely trench, And furnished it completely, then she took a course in French. Into the cable office Rosie flew, and wired, I’ve dug a little home for you. Refrain |
