The lyrics:

There was once a French girl
Named Jolie Marie
Each and every sailor
Dreamed of her at sea
Some men they had pictures
And some a lock of hair
But I had Marie's stockings
And I wore them everywhere
There are times upon the seas
When a pair of stocking sure do please

Jolie Marie's stockings
What pleasure they brings
Lonely sailors they sings
Jolie Marie's stockings
On the berth deck or the bilge they're always in style
Flash some silk beneath your kilt and smile awhile

Jolie Marie's stockings
Jolie Marie's stockings
Reminds a lonely sailor of Paris
The perfumes and the kisses and the sighs -- oh my
The flirting and the winking of the eyes -- those eyes
Jolie Marie's stockings
Makes me think of those things
And I look so good in silk

Anything she puts in her mouth
She just spits it right back out
Anything she puts in her mouth
She just spits it right back out
She say it serves me right
If I drink she will trollop about
But anything she puts in her mouth
She will spit that darn thing out

Jolie Marie's stockings
What pleasure they brings
Lonely sailors they sings
Jolie Marie's stockings
On the berth deck or the bilge they're always in style
Flash some silk beneath your kilt and smile awhile

Jolie Marie's stockings
Jolie Marie's stockings
Reminds a lonely sailor of Paris
The perfumes and the kisses and the sighs -- oh my
The flirting and the winking of the eyes -- those eyes
Jolie Marie's stockings
Makes me think of those things
And I look so good in silk

I laughed, I cried, I pulled out my old 78's and lamented my lack of a Victrola.
