WORK-A-DAY WARRIORS
Marie is très complaisant;
She is full o' woman's wile,
With an expansive bosom,
And an expansive smile;
And sometimes I have pondered
If it might not come to be
That I might marry Marie—
If Marie 'd marry me—
And spend the evening of my day
Within this old Estamin-ay!
Ah non, Monsieur! Reste tranquille!—Après la guerre!
