Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mademoiselle from Armentières
My grandfather used to sing a version that i haven't seen anywhere on this forum. It went:

Nathan Hale went to jail, parlez vous
Nathan Hale went to jail, parlez vous
Nathan Hale went to jail, 'cause he sat on a horse's tail
Inky Dinky Parlez Vouz

I also remember him singing:

The scotch marines went over the top, parlez vous
The scotch marines went over the top, parlez vous
The scotch marines went over the top, because they heard a nickel drop
Inky Dinky Parlez Vous
