<br>
I'm waiting for Madeleine<br>
In front of the picture show<br>
Every night at half past ten<br>
Madeleine, she loves that so<br>
I'm waiting for Madeleine<br>
We'll go down and eat at Joe's<br>
The french fries are from who knows when<br>
But Madeleine she loves them so<br>
Madelein's my Christmas tree<br>
She's America to me<br>
I know that she's too good for me<br>
(That's what her mother always says)<br>
I'm waiting for Madeleine<br>
We'll go to the picture show<br>
I'll tell her that I love then<br>
Madeleine, she loves that so<br>
She is much more than pretty<br>
She is all that you know<br>
She is my whole life to me<br>
I love my Madeleine so, so<br>
I'm waiting for Madeleine<br>
But I'm getting soaked and wet<br>
I've been soaked since half past ten<br>
Madeleine is not here yet<br>
I'm waiting for Madeleine<br>
Joe is closed by now I'll bet<br>
No French fries from who knows when<br>
Madeleine is not here yet<br>
Madeleine's my shining sea<br>
She's America to me<br>
I know that she's too good for me<br>
(That's what her father always says) <br>
I'm waiting for Madeleine<br>
I've still got the picture show<br>
I'll tell her that I love her then<br>
Madeleine, she'll love that so<br>
She is much more than pretty<br>
She is all that you know<br>
She is my whole life to me<br>
I love my Madeleine so, so<br>
I waited for Madeleine<br>
I only have myself to blame<br>
I went and caught a cold again<br>
Madeleine, she never came<br>
I waited for Madeleine<br>
All I did was call her name<br>
A thousand times since half past ten<br>
Madeleine, she never came<br>
Madeleine's my "Tis of Thee"<br>
She's America to me<br>
It's true that she's too good for me<br>
(That's what her brother always says)<br>
I waited for Madeleine<br>
It's always been the same<br>
Waiting here since who know's when<br>
Madeleine, she never came<br>
She is much more than pretty<br>
She is all that you know<br>
She is my whole life to me<br>
I love my Madeleine so, so<br>
I'm gonna wait for Madeleine<br>
In front of the picture show<br>
Tomorrow night at half past ten<br>
Madeleine, she'll love that so<br>
I'm gonna wait for Madeleine<br>
We'll go down and eat a Joe's<br>
The French fries are from who knows when<br>
But Madeleine, she loves them so<br>
Madeleine's my Christmas tree<br>
She's America to me<br>
So what if she's too good for me<br>
(Her mother?)<br>
I'm gonna wait for Madeleine<br>
We'll go to the picture show<br>
I'll tell her that I love her then<br>
Madeleine, she'll love that so--oooh!<br>
