Madamoiselle From The Maginot Line 1939

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 30 Apr 2004

Somewhere 'way over in France
a bit of romance is on the advance
we see.
Somewhere, there's somebody who's
been right in the news
tho' she didn't choose
to be,
Who is the lady with the captivating way
and who are all the Tommies
writing home about today?

It's Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line,
Madamoiselle Mimi,
Wherever she goes ev'ry regiment knows
sweet Madamoiselle Mimi,
altho' her manner isn't quite Parisian
one little kiss and you will say:
"San Fairy Ann,"
Oh, Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line
Sweet Madamoiselle Mimi.

Oh Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line
Madamoiselle Mimi,
Isn't she sweet
from her head to her feet
we call her petite cherie.
She always meets the boys
when they come out on rest
She kisses all the sergeants
but she likes the privates best,
Oh, Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line
Sweet Madamoiselle Mimi.

Some day I'm hoping to meet
the lady petite
and she'll very sweetly say
Bon jour my little soldat
please give me your hat
I didn't know that you'd say,
I'd like to hold her hand
and learn to parley vous
they tell me if she's willing
I must say merci beaucoup!

It's Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line,
Madamoiselle Mimi,
Wherever she goes ev'ry regiment knows
sweet Madamoiselle Mimi,
altho' her manner isn't quite Parisian
one little kiss and you will say:
"San Fairy Ann,"
Oh, Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line
Sweet Madamoiselle Mimi.

Oh Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line
Madamoiselle Mimi,
Isn't she sweet
from her head to her feet
we call her petite cherie.
She always meets the boys
when they come out on rest
She kisses all the sergeants
but she likes the privates best,
Oh, Madamoiselle from The Maginot Line
Sweet Madamoiselle Mimi.
