| I’m gettin' corns for my Country
|
| At the Hollywood Canteen
|
| The hardest workin' junior hostess
|
| You’ve ever seen
|
| I’m doin' my bit down here for Uncle Sam
|
| I’m a patriotic jitterbug
|
| Yeah, yeah, that’s what I am
|
| I’m gettin' corns for my country, you should see the pounds fly
|
| I’m gettin' down the waistline and I don’t even try
|
| I don’t need a Duberry or a Westmore course
|
| 'Cos my weight’s been taken over by the Army Air Force
|
| We’re not petite as sweet Joan Leslie, but then we never mind
|
| When those GI’s knock the South, we’re glad that we’re the healthy kind
|
| The way those cowboys from the prairie expect us to sashay
|
| I think I’d rather two-step with their horses any day
|
| We’re gettin' corns for our Country, though the goin' is tough
|
| When we think we can’t go on, we find we can’t get enough
|
| So if you hear of a soldier, sailor or marine
|
| Tell him to look us up at the Hollywood Canteen
|
| I used to be aesthetic, they say, oh yes I was, really I was
|
| I served the drama, arts and the ballet
|
| But the theatre guild came over and said, «Forget about Pavlova «Learn to cut a rug, so now we’re jitterbugs
|
| I’m gettin' corns for my Country, so I’m really all in In a week from now we’ll be here with our usual vim
|
| So if you hail from the Bronx, Des Moines or Aberdeen
|
| Come down and ask for us at the Hollywood Canteen |
