Our darkey lays and rag time ways
have lately crossed the sea,
The cake walk dance
is seen in France
at ev'ry jubilee,
They've grabbed across the ocean,
that syncopated motion.
Of coon songs they've this notion,
in La Belle Laree.

Je vous aime,
ma Mam'zelle Honee,
vous etes ze monee,
ma huckle berry,
you are charmant like ze possum,
ma banjo blossom,
Honee ma cherie.

Je vous aime,
ma Mam'zelle Honee,
vous etes ze monee,
ma huckle berry,
you are charmant like ze possum,
ma banjo blossom,
Honee ma cherie.

No more the wine producing vine
adorns the vineyard's brown,
Along The Seine
they're raising cane
and water melon now,
the garlic they are flagging,
and cotton they are bagging,
while Jean and Pierre are ragging,
as they push the plow.

Je vous aime,
ma Mam'zelle Honee,
vous etes ze monee,
ma huckle berry,
you are charmant like ze possum,
ma banjo blossom,
Honee ma cherie.

Je vous aime,
ma Mam'zelle Honee,
vous etes ze monee,
ma huckle berry,
you are charmant like ze possum,
ma banjo blossom,
Honee ma cherie.
