Lyrics | Comprenez-vous Papa Verse: When Sammy stroll’d along the boulevard one night the boulevard so bright His heart was feeling happy his big strong arm around Miss Josephine so tight She tried to make him understand as she cried with delight Refrain: “Compranay-voo” papa I want ze little kiss from you “compranay-voo” haha I want ze little kiss or two you make me feel so nice I want to kiss you twice I’m off ze noodle Mister Yankee Doodle doo “Compranay-voo “come see” Oh won’t you come along with me “Compranay-voo come-saw” my sweet papa You’re my ma Cherie my pet oh you kid I get you yet “Compranay-voo” papa I want zee little kiss haha Verse: He introduc’d her to ze “Mamazell” Ga zay ze “Mamazell” so gay And he got very spoony each time he’d steal a kiss she’d holler out “Allay” But Sammy didn’t understand that she meant “go away” Refrain |
