Subject: WWII Music Experts? Help!
Hello Mudcatters!

Put on your thinking caps...I need your help. I'm working on a play set in post Nazi occupied Paris, in a suit making factory-- The Workroom (L'Atelier) by Jean-Claude Grumberg. The script contains lyrics, but no music to several different songs. It is a translation, so searching for song titles is difficult. Is there anyone who knows, or can suggest a contact who may know, the tunes and/or origins of the following lyrics:

LYRIC SET 1:
From Vichy comes the call
Collaborators one and all

LYRIC SET 2:
There are two great white oxen in my stable
Two great white oxen

LYRIC SET 3:
From the front
From the back
Sadly as always
She's known love

Any ideas are appreciated!

thanks much
emily
