Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mademoiselle from Armentières
Dunno if this thread is still alive, but there was a version we used to sing in Primary School on the bus on the way to the Swimming Pool I stumbled across this site in searching for the gaps in the version I knew (my daughter thinks this is funny and keeps asking me to finish it);

There was an old lady of 72, Parlez Vous
There was an old lady of 72, Parlez Vous
There was an old lady of 72, Parlez Vous
Who did a fart and away it blew
Inky pinky parlez vous

The fart went rolling down the street, Parlez Vous
The fart went rolling down the street, Parlez Vous
The fart went rolling down the street, Parlez Vous
And knocked a copper off his feet
Inky pink parlez vous

The copper got out his rusty whistle, Parlez Vous
The copper got out his rusty whistle, Parlez Vous
The copper got out his rusty whistle, Parlez Vous
And blew the fart from here to Bristol
Inky pinky parlez vous

(it's here that my memory fades...)
Bristol Rovers playing at home, Parlez Vous
Bristol Rovers playing at home, Parlez Vous
Bristol Rovers playing at home, Parlez Vous
(Some Bristol Rovers player) kicked the fart from here to Rome
Inky pinky palez vous

Julius Caesar (something, something), Parlez Vous
Julius Caesar (something, something), Parlez Vous
Julius Caesar (something, something), Parlez Vous
(de dum de dum de dum de doo)
Inky pinky parlez vous

If anyone can fill in the blanks...that'd be great ;-)
