My Grandfather would sometimes break into song while driving the family to our vacation home in Ontario. As I remember the verse, it was a bit of a shot at the tightwad Scots:

Scotch Marines went over the top,
Parlez-vous
Scotch Marines went over the top,
Parlez vous
Scotch Marines went over the top,
they thought they heard a penny drop!
Inky Dinky Parlez Vous
