| I like to listen when French girls talk | G |
| Though I'm weak in the 'parlez vous' game | H |
| But the language of youth in every land | I |
| Is somehow about the same | H |
| And I've learned a regular code of shrugs | J |
| And they seem to know what I say | C |
| But the girl whose voice goes straight to my heart | K |
| Is the girl of the U S A | F |

| I haven't a word but words of praise | L |
| For these dear little girls of France | M |
| And I will confess that I've felt a thrill | N |
| As I faced their line of advance | M |
| But I haven't been taken a prisoner yet | O |
| And I won't be until the day | C |
| When I carry my colours to lay at the feet | P |
| Of a girl of the U S A | F |
