| Lyrics | Oh! Frenchy Verse: Rosie Green was a village queen, who enlisted as a nurse, She waited for a chance and left for France with an ambulance. Rosie Green met a chap named Jean, a soldier from Paree, When he said “Parle vous, my pet,” she said, “I will, but not just yet.” When he’d speak in French to her she’d answer lovingly. Refrain: Oh! Frenchy, oh Frenchy, Frenchy, although your language is so new to me, When you say “Oui oui, la la,” “We” mean you and me, la la. Oh! Frenchy, Oh Frenchy, Frenchy, you’ve won my love with your bravery, March on, march on, with any girl you see, but when you la la la la la, Oh Frenchy, save your la la la’s for me. Verse: Rosie Green married Soldier Jean when his furlough time arrived, She said “Go pack your grip, we’ll take a trip on a big steam ship.” Rosie Green took her Soldier Jean down home somewhere in Maine, They say her rural Pa and Ma refused to do that ‘oo la la’, But when she’s alone with him you’ll hear this same refrain.
