Frenchy, Come To Yankee Land 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 16 Mar 2003

You remember Rosie Green
who went across the sea,
and fell in love with soldier Jean,
a chap from gay Paree,
she just returned so angry
and they say she's feeling blue,
because her "Frenchie"
taught another girl to "parlezvous."
But Rosie got a lonesome spell today.
Then quickly sent this cablegram away.

Frenchy, come over Frenchy,
I'm sorry dearie
I made you cry
but when you smiled at KKKKKaty
I was angry and said goodbye.
Bring all the kissing that you promised
your little Rose in NoMan's Land
and pack up your LaLa's
in your old kit bag
and Frenchy come to Yankee land.

Frenchy, come over Frenchy,
I'm sorry dearie
I made you cry
but when you smiled at KKKKKaty
I was angry and said goodbye.
Bring all the kissing that you promised
your little Rose in NoMan's Land
and pack up your LaLa's
in your old kit bag
and Frenchy come to Yankee land.

Rosie waited for a day
but Jean had not replied.
She quickly figured out a way
to bring him to her side,
beneath the kitchen window
she prepared a lovely trench,
and furnished it completely,
then she took a course in French.
Into the cable office Rosie flew.
And wired, I've dug
a little home for you.

Frenchy, come over Frenchy,
I'm sorry dearie
I made you cry
but when you smiled at KKKKKaty
I was angry and said goodbye.
Bring all the kissing that you promised
your little Rose in NoMan's Land
and pack up your LaLa's
in your old kit bag
and Frenchy come to Yankee land.

Frenchy, come over Frenchy,
I'm sorry dearie
I made you cry
but when you smiled at KKKKKaty
I was angry and said goodbye.
Bring all the kissing that you promised
your little Rose in NoMan's Land
and pack up your LaLa's
in your old kit bag
and Frenchy come to Yankee land.
