Berlin Irving This Is The Army (1942) Ladies Of The Chorus Ladies of the chorus That's what we are, it appears We were inducted and we took a vow We joined the Army but look at us now We're ladies of the chorus Don't we look lovely, my dears In corsets and dresses And cute golden tresses To hide the dirt behind our ears I was a plumber I quit work last summer My number come up at the start I was a printer I quit work last winter They okayed my lungs and my heart I was a farmer Potato embalmer They took me away from the plow I was a packer I chewed plug "terbaccer" I wish I had some of it now Oh, now we're in the chorus Dressed up in girdles that squeeze We're here to romance with To sing and to dance with A bunch of nerdy guys like these GUYS: Pardon me, but aren't you the country maiden? GALS: Pardon me, but aren't you the city chap? GUYS: Cuddle closer won't you please I'm about to take a squeeze GALS: If you do then I will give your face a slap GUYS: I would love to take you home to meet my mother I would like to [...] mother but I can't She will treat you like a queen GALS: But I'm only seventeen If you are seventeen, then so's my aunt GALS: Hi ho! I want you to behave GUYS: Hi ho! I think you need a shave GALS: Do you think that you can get me into pictures? GUYS: If you're nice to me I'll get you on the screen GALS: How about a movie test? GUYS: Not with hair upon your chest GALS: And now it's time to dance but keep it clean |
