Come On Papa 1918

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 07 Sep 2004

Sweet Marie, in gay Paree,
had a motor car;
it filled her heart with joy,
to drive a Yankee boy;
on the sly, she winked her eye,
if one came her way,
she'd stop her motor car,
and then she'd say:

Come on Papa, hop in ze motor car,
sit by mamma, and hold ze hand;
you start to raise for me,
what zay call ze deuce;
I'll be so sweet to you,
like ze Charlotte Russe;
Come on Papa,
beneath the shining star,
bounce your babee, upon ze knee;
I'll give you ze kiss
like ze mam'selles do
each time you ask for one
I'll give you two,
Comme ci, comme ca,
And when you're in ze car,
you love mamma,
Ooolala! Ooolala!
Come on Papa.

Come on Papa, hop in ze motor car,
sit by mamma, and hold ze hand;
you start to raise for me,
what zay call ze deuce;
I'll be so sweet to you,
like ze Charlotte Russe;
Come on Papa,
beneath the shining star,
bounce your babee, upon ze knee;
I'll give you ze kiss
like ze mam'selles do
each time you ask for one
I'll give you two,
Comme ci, comme ca,
And when you're in ze car,
you love mamma,
Ooolala! Ooolala!
Come on Papa.

Yankee boys make lots of noise,
when they're in Paree;
they like to promenade,
upon ze Boulevard;
they all know Marie and so,
any time she's near,
they knock each other down,
each time they hear:

Come on Papa, hop in ze motor car,
sit by mamma, and hold ze hand;
you start to raise for me,
what zay call ze deuce;
I'll be so sweet to you,
like ze Charlotte Russe;
Come on Papa,
beneath the shining star,
bounce your babee, upon ze knee;
I'll give you ze kiss
like ze mam'selles do
each time you ask for one
I'll give you two,
Comme ci, comme ca,
And when you're in ze car,
you love mamma,
Ooolala! Ooolala!
Come on Papa.

Come on Papa, hop in ze motor car,
