Lyrics
Chorus
“Adieu! Adieu! Adieu!
Adieu!” said Marjorie
“Adieu my life, my joy
Adieu! my soldier boy
Adieu! Adieu! Adieu!
Come back to me again
Be true to me ’till then, Adieu”
Chorus
“How do! How do! How do!
How do!” said Marjorie
“A galant officer you must be I infer
How do! How do! How do!
You wish to shake my hand
You really mustn’t, and How do!”
Chorus
“I do! I do! I do!
I do!” said Marjorie
“I do believe we should
I do believe we could
I do! I do! I do!
I thank you for the thought
To wed I think we ought, I do!”
Chorus
“Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!
Mon Dieu!” said Marjorie
“How could a maiden tell
When she had said “farewell”
Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!
My love it would endure
But I tho’t they’d kill you sure, Mon Dieu!”
Chorus
“It’s due! It’s due! It’s due!
It’s due!” said Marjorie
“You needn’t look so pale
I bought it at a sale
It’s due! It’s due! It’s due!
I don’t think you should frown
The price has been marked down, It’s due!”
Chorus
“Hoo-doo! Hoo-doo! Hoo-doo!’
Hoo-doo!” said Marjorie
“These female cousins are
The cause of many a jar
Hoo-doo! Hoo-doo! Hoo-doo!
I made the bold thing clear
We’ll have no cousins here, Hoo-doo!”
