[00:09]I'm gettin' corns for my Country
[00:12]At the Hollywood Canteen
[00:14]The hardest workin' junior hostess
[00:17]You've ever seen
[00:20]I'm doin' my bit down here for Uncle Sam
[00:23]I'm a patriotic jitterbug
[00:26]Yeah, yeah, that's what I am
[00:28]I'm gettin' corns for my country
[00:31] you should see the pounds fly
[00:34]I'm gettin' down the waistline and I don't even try
[00:38]I don't need a Duberry or a Westmore course
[00:43]'Cos my weight's been taken over by the Army Air Force
[00:48]We're not petite as sweet Joan Leslie
[00:51]but then we never mind
[00:53]When those GI's knock the South,
[00:56]we're glad that we're the healthy kind
[00:58]The way those cowboys from the prairie expect us to sashay
[01:00]I think I'd rather two-step with their horses any day
[01:05]We're gettin' corns for our Country
[01:10]though the goin' is tough
[01:12]When we think we can't go on
[01:15]we find we can't get enough
[01:17]So if you hear of a soldier, sailor or marine
[01:21]Tell him to look us up at the Hollywood Canteen
[01:32]I used to be aesthetic, they say
[01:34]oh yes I was, really I was
[01:39]I served the drama, arts and the ballet
[01:43]But the theatre guild came over and said
[01:45]"Forget about Pavlova "
[01:47]Learn to cut a rug, so now we're jitterbugs
[02:17]I'm gettin' corns for my Country
[02:22]so I'm really all in
[02:25]In a week from now we'll be here with our usual vim
[02:31]So if you hail from the Bronx
[02:35]Des Moines or Aberdeen
[02:36]Come down and ask for us at the Hollywood Canteen
