Lyrics
1. When I stroll down the bully Boulevard
The boys make eyes at me
The things they do are strictly “en-trez nous”
And when they whisper “Pilly pilly plee
Jay vous adore Ba-bee
I wink my naughty eye and this is my reply
Chorus:
Wee wee Cherie wee wee
Pilly pom pom plee
Take a look at me
Do I look good Cherie
Pilly pom pom plee
“Parley voo with me”
Come and press me close to your heart
Just caress but don’t you press
“A la carte” Wee wee Cherie we wee
Pilly pom pom plee, take a look at me
2. The boys they wink so very very nice
And call me “Ma Cherie”
When I go out they follow me about
I make them think I’m very very shy
Though I don’t mean to be
If they ask for a kiss, I softly whisper this
