Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFBBB HIHIGJD| 'Twas in a village in Lorraine | A |
| Whose name I quite forget | B |
| I found I needfully was fain | A |
| To buy a serviette | B |
| I sought a shop wherein they sell | C |
| Such articles as these | D |
| And told a smiling mademoiselle | C |
| 'I want a towel please ' | E |

| That pretty maid had sunny hair | H |
| Her gaze was free from guile | I |
| And while I hesitated there | H |
| She watched me with a smile | I |
| Then as I went to take the blue | G |
| She said 'Non' meaning no | J |
| 'Ze khaki ones are best M'sieu | D |
| Ze dirts zey do not show ' | - |
