| Lyrics | Girls of France Verse: We always thought you a fickle coquette, Girl of France, girl of France. Something to fondle and then to forget, Just made for love and romance. Now we point with pride to you, And we love you too. Refrain: Girls of France, girls of France, We’re mighty proud of you. When shadows fell and all was dark, You led your sons like Joan of Arc. We know our brothers will never feel blue, They’ll find a sister in each one of you. Brave and true, Beautiful, too, Wonderful girls of France. Verse: There came a foe to the land of your birth, Girl of France, girl of France. You met his thrust like an angel on earth, Victory shone in your glance. Sisters all of Lafayette, We shall not forget. Refrain |
