ROSIE THE RIVETER

All the day long,
Whether rain or shine,
She's a part of the assembly line.
She's making history,
Working for victory,
Rosie the Riveter.
   
Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage,
Sitting up there on the fuselage.
That little frail will do
more than a male will do.
Rosie the Riveter.
   
Rosie's got a boyfriend, Charlie.
Charlie, he's a Marine.
Rosie is protecting Charlie,

Working overtime on the riveting machine.

   
When they gave her a production "E,"
She was as proud as a girl could be.
There's something true about,
Red, white, and blue about,
Rosie the Riveter.

   
Every one stops to admire the scene,
Rosie at work on the B-19.
She's never twittery,
Nervous or jittery,
Rosie the Riveter.
   
What if she's smeared full of oil and grease,
doing her bit for the old Lend-Lease,
She keeps the gang a-around,
They love to hang a-round,
Rosie the Riveter.
   
Rosie buys a lot of war bonds,
That girl really has sense,
Wishes she could purchase more bonds
Putting all her cash in to national defense.
   
Senator Jones, who is "in the know"
Shouted these words on the radio
Berlin will hear about
Moscow will cheer about
Rosie the Riveter
   
Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb,
"Rosie the Riveter,"
(New York: Paramount Music Corp., 1942).
