What an interesting thread! I am actually going to write an article about my version of this song, which my mother sang to me growing up. My dad was a WW2 vet, and this is the way they sang it ( I am now singing it to my grandson, age 1) My mom was originally from Canada and my dad from New Jersey.

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 penny drop
Inky Pinky Parlez Vous.

Doo-doo-Doo-doo (I think my mom ad-libbed that last line..lol)
