Mademoiselle from Armentieres
Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
Mademoiselle from Armentieres
She hasn't been kissed for 40 years
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
She got the palm and the croix de guerre
For washin' soldiers' underwear
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
The Colonel got the Croix de Guerre, Parlez-vous
The Colonel got the Croix de Guerre
The son-of-a-gun was never there
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
You didn't have to know her long
To know the reason men go wrong
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
She's the hardest working girl in town
But she makes her living upside down
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
The cooties rambled through her hair;
She whispered sweetly "C'est la guerre"
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
She'll do it for wine she'll do it for rum
And sometimes for chocolate or chewing gum
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
You might forget the gas and shell
But you'll nev'r forget the Mademoiselle
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous
Where are the girls who used to swarm
About me in my uniform?
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from St. Nazaire, Parlez-vous
The Mademoiselle from St. Nazaire
She never washed her underwear
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Aix-Les-Bains, Parlez-vous
Mademoiselle from Aix-Les-Bains
She gave the Yankees shooting pains
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
Oh Mademoiselle from Montparnasse, Parlez-vous
As soon as she'd spy a Colonel's brass
She'd take off her skirt and roll in the grass
Hinky-dinky parlez-vous
In remembrance of all the brave soldiers who have gone before us to protect the freedom that we enjoy today. RESPECT, and THANK YOU.
Willy Mitchell is an indie author, writer, and storyteller. His first title was Operation ARGUS, and then the sequel Bikini BRAVO where a group of former Special Air Service operatives enter the dark and murky world of maskirovka and discover the lengths that some people will go for power and greed. Cold COURAGE tells the epic tale of Shackleton's 1914 Trans-Antarctic Expedition and all that was happening in those extraordinary times. Book four, Northern ECHO is now released and tells the story of two boys growing up during the punk rock revolution in the north of England, and how a dark secret keeps them apart until the end. Mitchell's latest installment, about to be released at the end of 2020, is Gipsy MOTH about his Aunt Nikki, her friend, and fellow Aviatrix, Amy Johnson, and Amelia Earhart on the other side of the pond during the golden age of aviation.
Up next? SS Indigo is the story of an eclectic mix of guests mysteriously invited to a cruise on a luxury steamship around the Caribbean. The only thing they have in common is their lust for power, advancement, and wealth.
All of Mitchell's books so far are novels, works of fiction, blended with real events. For further information or how to buy his books, visit his author website:
