Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mademoiselle from Armentiers - UK Version
My father spent 4 years during WW2 on a merchant marine ship, so you might understand his version of the song. I can't recall all of it, but roughly, it went, "The first Marine found the bean, parlez vous, the second Marine cooked the bean, parlez vous, the third marine ate the bean and blew apart the submarine, inky dinky parlez vous." Don't ask me why a marine would be aboard a sub!
