| Lyrics | Look What My Boy Got in France Verse: Mrs. Maloney was very high toney, she yelled to the neighbors, “My Johnny is home I’ve something to show you, Begorra I know you’ll be proud of the boy that went over the foam They made him a captain, he’s on a furlough he brought back a prize, what it is I don’t know. Refrain 1: Oh! Look what my boy got in France oh! Look what my boy got in France They pinned something on him for he’s a hero whatever he did at all, sure I don’t know My Jonny brought home a young wife now he’s decorated for life Ev’rytime she starts to parlez-vous my old man does the “Hoochy Koo.” Look what my boy got in France. Refrain 2: Oh! Look what my boy got in France oh! Look what my boy got in France She said “Parlez vous” and she looked right at me my old man said “Carlin’ oui oui B.V.D.” My johnny says she was his nurse he got well but he should have got worse She said “Have a carte d’ jour papa” Mike said, “Not now here comes you Ma.” Look what my boy got in France.
