Mon Homme

"Mon Homme" (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃n‿ɔm]), also known by its English translation, "My Man", is a popular song first published in 1920.

The song was originally composed by Maurice Yvain with French lyrics by Jacques-Charles (Jacques Mardochée Charles) and Albert Willemetz.

The song was performed by revue star Mistinguett and her stage partner American dancer Harry Pilcer.

Although the song originated in France –where it was a hit for Mistinguett– it was popularized in the English-speaking world in the 1920s with the 1921 recording by Ziegfeld Follies singer Fanny Brice.

Alice Faye sang it in the musical film Rose of Washington Square (1939), a thinly veiled biography of Fanny Brice.
