She have name they call Marie
She is little sister to me
He have name they call Louie
He is great big brother to me
We live on the Rue Marceau
Vingt et un le numero
We play in zee Park Marceau
Everyday it’s there we go
We do things Mama don’t know
She too busy with her beau
And everyday we hop and skip
And fight and jump and fall down
We don’t care how bad we are
We only get a ? down
After school how ?
And we do not give a good big damn
We play ‘oops et ra-ra-ra
Et rat-tat-tan
We bump into zee big fat man
We play ‘oops in the park all day
Mama, she scold, she say, “Eh, eh, eh!”
You mustn’t knock over the gentleman with the whip
And we play ‘oops
And we write words upon big fats
For only forty malipense
All day long we play with the ‘oops
