This is the Army movie - Ladies Of The Chorus lyrics

rate me

<br>

Ladies of the chorus<br>

That's what we are, it appears<br>

We were inducted and we took a vow<br>

We joined the Army but look at us now<br>

We're ladies of the chorus<br>

Don't we look lovely, my dears<br>

In corsets and dresses<br>

And cute golden tresses<br>

To hide the dirt behind our ears<br>

<br>

I was a plumber<br>

I quit work last summer<br>

My number come up at the start<br>

<br>

I was a printer<br>

I quit work last winter<br>

They okayed my lungs and my heart<br>

<br>

I was a farmer<br>

Potato embalmer<br>

They took me away from the plow<br>

<br>

I was a packer<br>

I chewed plug "terbaccer"<br>

I wish I had some of it now<br>

<br>

Oh, now we're in the chorus<br>

Dressed up in girdles that squeeze<br>

We're here to romance with<br>

To sing and to dance with<br>

A bunch of nerdy guys like these<br>

<br>

GUYS: Pardon me, but aren't you the country maiden?<br>

GALS: Pardon me, but aren't you the city chap?<br>

GUYS: Cuddle closer won't you please<br>

I'm about to take a squeeze<br>

GALS: If you do then I will give your face a slap<br>

GUYS: I would love to take you home to meet my mother<br>

I would like to [...] mother but I can't<br>

She will treat you like a queen<br>

GALS: But I'm only seventeen<br>

If you are seventeen, then so's my aunt<br>

<br>

GALS: Hi ho! I want you to behave<br>

GUYS: Hi ho! I think you need a shave<br>

<br>

GALS: Do you think that you can get me into pictures?<br>

GUYS: If you're nice to me I'll get you on the screen<br>

GALS: How about a movie test?<br>

GUYS: Not with hair upon your chest<br>

GALS: And now it's time to dance but keep it clean<br>
