Madeleine - Henri Des

I’m waiting for Madeleine

In front of the picture show

Every night at half past ten

Madeleine, she loves that so

I’m waiting for Madeleine

We’ll go down and eat at Joe’s

French fries are from who knows when

But Madeleine, she loves them so Madelein’s my Christmas tree

She’s America to me

I know that she’s too good for me That’s what her mother always says

I’m waiting for Madeleine

We’ll go to the picture show

I’ll tell her that I love her then

Madeleine, she loves that so She is much more than pretty

She is all that you know

She is my whole life to me

I love my Madeleine so So, I’m waiting for Madeleine

But I’m getting soaked and wet

I’ve been soaked since half past ten

Madeleine is not here yet

I’m waiting for Madeleine

Joe is closed by now I’ll bet

No French fries from who knows when

Madeleine is not here yet

Madeleine’s my shining sea

She’s America to me

I know that she’s too good for me That’s what her father always says

I’m waiting for Madeleine

I’ve still got the picture show

I’ll tell her that I love her then

Madeleine, she’ll love that so She is much more than pretty

She is all that you know

She is my whole life to me

I love my Madeleine so So I waited for Madeleine

I only have myself to blame

I went and caught a cold again

And Madeleine, she never came

I waited for Madeleine

All I did was call her name

A thousand times since half past ten

Madeleine, she never came

Madeleine’s my ''Tis of Thee'

She’s America to me It’s true that she’s too good for me That’s what her brother always says

I waited for Madeleine

It’s always been the same

Waiting here since who knows when

Madeleine, she never came

She is much more than pretty

She is all that you know

She is my whole life to me

I love my Madeleine so So I’m gonna wait for Madeleine

In front of the picture show

Tomorrow night at half past ten

Madeleine, she’ll love that so

I’m gonna wait for Madeleine

We’ll go down and eat a Joe’s

French fries are from who knows when

But Madeleine, she loves them so Madeleine’s my Christmas tree

She’s America to me So what if she’s too good for me Her mother, yeah
