Lyrics:
First Verse
Poor Johnny's heart went pitty 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:
Chorus
Wee Wee Marie,
will you do zis for me Wee Wee 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 other sweethearts do,
I want a
kiss or two from Ma Cherie, Wee Wee Marie, if you'll
do zis for me Then I'll do zat for you, Wee Wee Marie.
Second Verse
They walked along the boule boulevard,
He whisper "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.
