Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mademoiselle from Armentières
Clean version of the above taught to me at Brownies in the 1970s in England, went something like this:
The bomb went rolling down the street, parley vous; The bomb went rolling down the street, parley vous; The bomb went rolling down the street, parley vous; Knocked a copper off his feet. Inky pinky parley vous
(more verses I dont remember)
Christopher Columbus drinking gin, parley vous; Christopher Columbus drinking gin, parley vous; Christopher Columbus drinking gin, parley vous; Opened his mouth and the bomb went in. Inky pinky parley vous. BANG!
On reflection, probably not very suitable. Dont know its origin, sounds like a parody from WWII.
