[78-L] FRENCH QUESTION

[Ray Kilcoyne]

In the Bing Crosby/Judy Garland recording of CONNECTICUT Bing interjects the phrase “très zut”.  Can anyone tell me what exactly is the meaning?  I believe it dates from around 1945.  Here it is in context......

Italy.... was fun to see,
And really gave me quite a boot!
Had a spree in gay Paree,
Those mademoiselles were mighty cute, très zut!

The song can be heard on YouTube.
