Mon Ami, My Friend

[NURSE]

My Madeleine of Paris

She'll laugh and dance and sing

To cheer the weary soldier

At his homecoming

A little room together

An hour of love to spend

Comme ça, your arm around me

Oh, mon ami, my friend

But she—ah—she remembers

That other love and joy

The first, the best

The dearest tired soldier boy

A narrow room alone now

Rain on the roof above

And he will sleep forever

Oh, mon ami, my love

My Madeleine of Paris

She does not sit and grieve

But sings away her sorrows

To cheer the soldier's leave

For life is short and funny

And love must have an end

An hour may be forever

Oh, mon ami, my friend

For life is short and funny

And love must have an end

An hour may be forever

Oh, mon ami, my friend

[Spoken]

Thank you!
