Mademoiselle In New Rochelle 1930 'Strike Up The Band'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Aug 2004

Little lady, as you stand before me,
you remind me of the little girl
I left behind me.
Holding hands with you
would never bore me;
what a torso!
Like my gal in New Rochelle,
but more so!

Sir, where do you get
this "you and me" stuff?

How about that "hands across the sea" stuff?
Sweetness, if you think you could adore me.
I'll forget about the gal back home.

I left my Mademoiselle in New Rochelle,
But, what the hell!
You'll do as well.
I left my Mademoiselle in New Rochelle
but, truth to tell,
you're twice as swell!
I love you lips!
Oh Boy! What hips!
When I observe each lovely curve
then I declare;
Yes, I can swear,
I'm glad I'm here "over there."
Oh lady, if you could learn to play mammah
for ziss papah,
then, what the hell!
I'll never go back again
to New Rochelle!

I left my Mademoiselle in New Rochelle,
But, what the hell!
You'll do as well.
I left my Mademoiselle in New Rochelle
but, truth to tell,
you're twice as swell!
I love you lips!
Oh Boy! What hips!
When I observe each lovely curve
then I declare;
Yes, I can swear,
I'm glad I'm here "over there."
Oh lady, if you could learn to play mammah
for ziss papah,
then, what the hell!
I'll never go back again
to New Rochelle!
