!—What are they marching, there, for?

Rin-rin!—Ran!—Pata, pata, plan!

Papa Joffre he's coming from the war:

Vive la—Vive la France!

Blue jacket and red breeches and mustachios gleaming white,

With a Tommy on his left hand and a Johnny on his right,

He has come to give America his Godspeed for the fight:

''Vive l'Amerique! Vive la France!''

Vive la—Vive la France!
