Old song lyrics

I think I have the lyrics to this song.

Good evening, I am also looking for this song sung by my grandfather. Here is the first verse that I remember:
If you knew my lolotte what I have under my cap
It's not junk that I intend to offer you
It's not a medal, it's an engagement gift
That I saved from the battle, it will surely please you.

There you go, if anyone knows the rest, I would appreciate it, thanks in advance.

It's the permissionary's polka, to be searched on the site: gallica.bnf

This song also connects me to a dear one.

Hello,

Go take a look at this website http://www.chansons-net.com/mil/top-1940.html and search by year. You might find something?

Good luck!

THE POLKA OF THE LICENSEE
or: IF YOU ONLY KNEW LOLA
LITTLE SONG

Lyrics and Music by JEAN DARIS

                1
Little Lili, with an emotional heart,
Is waiting for her soldier’s arrival,
Her fiancé, who’s coming back from the front
He has eight days of leave.
They’re both going without hesitation,
To take the opportunity to get married.
    And when the soldier arrives,
At the station, the whole wedding awaits.
When his little wife jumps into his arms,
He says to her: I’m bringing you a jewel.

             REFRAIN
If you only knew my Lola
What I have under my cape,
Oh! it’s not junk
That I intend to offer you.
It’s not a beautiful medal,
It’s my engagement gift
That I saved from the battle
And it will surely please you.

                2
Once outside, without wasting time,
They head to the town hall quickly.
It’s an original procession
And the groom is not ordinary.
He’s as dirty as a poodle
And his little wife is in shock
    In front of his decorations;
Don’t worry, he responds to her:
I have the medal and I have the cross
But I also have something for you.

             REFRAIN
If you only knew my Lola
What I have under my cape,
Oh! it’s not junk
That I intend to offer you.
It’s not a beautiful medal,
It’s my engagement gift
That I saved from the battle
And it will surely please you.

                3
The next morning, naturally,
The young bride, as she comes down,
Found at the bottom of her stairs
All the neighborhood ladies
Who were curiously asking her
What is this precious gift,
    This mysterious object,
That he hid so well from our eyes?
Is it a living phenomenon,
Is it something astonishing?

             REFRAIN
Well then, replied Lola,
What he had under his cape
Wasn’t junk
And I figured it out well.
It was a sincere love,
A youthful spring,
Finally, I tell you without manners,
It was the heart of my soldier.
