Lyrics
  • Oui Oui, Marie Verse: Poor Johnny’s heart went pity, pity 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: Refrain: Oui Oui Marie, will you do zis for me? Oui Oui 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 parleyvous like the other sweethearts do? I want a kiss or two from Ma Cherie. Oui Oui Marie, if you do zis for me, then I’ll do zat for you. Oui Oui Marie. Verse: They walked along the boule-, boulevard. He whispered, “you for me, Some day in gay 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: Refrain
