| 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
|
| Pardon me, but aren’t you the country maiden?
|
| Pardon me, but aren’t you the city chap?
|
| Cuddle closer won’t you please
|
| I’m about to take a squeeze
|
| If you do then I will give your face a slap
|
| I would love to take you home to meet my mother
|
| I would like to meet your mother but I can’t
|
| She will treat you like a queen
|
| But I’m only seventeen
|
| If you are seventeen, then so’s my aunt
|
| Hi ho! |
| I want you to behave
|
| Hi ho! |
| I think you need a shave
|
| Do you think that you can get me into pictures?
|
| If you’re nice to me I’ll get you on the screen
|
| How about a movie test?
|
| Not with hair upon your chest
|
| And now it’s time to dance but keep it clean |
