[Verse]
[speaks as she writes ]
There is nothing doing at night!
[stops writing ]
That's silly! What can i write?
[writes again]
How i wish that you could be here!
[stops writing]
That's stupid! Can't think!
Oh, dear!
I wish someone could help me!
Writing always makes me nervous!
If mademoiselle forgives me-
I am at her service!
Oh!
Oh-i'm sorry! Allow me!
It's such a stupid letter!
I'll be indebted if you let me help you
Oh, no! I'd be the debtor!
What can i write?
It's so hard for me
Night after night
Is dull as can be
L'm writing to a girlfriend
My little marie!
Let me see! Let me see!
Why don't you write this
As i dictate it
[she writes as he dictates]
I have met the one man, my dear!
Who is it?
[continuing to dictate ]
On a visit here!
I am so excited tonight!
Excited?
And delighted! Dear!
He is so distinguished and sweet
Very debonair yet discreet!
He's the height of fashion!
[continuing to write]
My pa**ion's at fever heat!
He's so modest all of the while
Oh, very!
With a merry smile
He is made of iron. He's tall
Gigantic!
With romantic style!
He's a julius caesar in mind
With apollo's beauty combined
So, my little friend, you see
He's the very man for me!
I'll sign my name!
It' s easy to see
This little note
Is sweet as can be
It's sure to please your
Girlfriend, your
Little marie!
Now read it for me
Read it for me!
[reading]
I have met a foolish young man
Who is it?
On a visit here!
I'll get rid of him if i can
I'm choking
I'm not joking, dear
He is undistinguished and plain!
Very unattractive yet vain!
And he needs a shaking!
I'm taking
The first fast train!
[jeanette]
All he does is grin like a mule!
I'm frowning
He's a clowning fool!
He could never learn how to love!
I'll grow to-
He should go to school!
He's a simple simon in mind
To describe his looks is unkind
So, my little friend, you see
He is not the man for me
