Mon Ami, My Friend 1936 'Johnny Johnson'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 Dec 2002

My Madelon of Paree
she'll laugh and dance and sing
to cheer the weary soldier
at his homecoming.
A little room together,
an hour of love to spend
Comme ça your arm around me,
oh, mon ami, my friend.
But she ah she remembers
that other love and joy,
the first, the best,
the dearest tired soldier boy;
A narrow room alone now,
rain on the roof above,
and he will sleep for ever
oh, mon ami, my love.

My Madelon of Paree,
she does not sit and grieve,
but sings away her sorrow
to cheer the soldier's leave,
for life is short and funny
and love must have an end;
an hour may be for ever
Oh, mon ami, my friend,
for life is short and funny
and love must have an end.
An hour may be for ever,
Mon ami, my friend.
