Ethel Merman - Something for the Boys

Lyrics

I'm always doing something,

Something for the boys

I'm always doing something

For the lads if it adds to their joy

So don't tell me it's a wrong thing

If I'm out with 'em nightly till three

'Cos I'm always doing something for the boys

Or they're doing something for me.

Back in the days of gifty giving

When all God's daddies had greens

I was oh so busy living

Beyond several gentlemen's means

I didn't care much where I fluttered

Long as my bank roll was buttered

But now my life's completely cluttered

With soldiers, sailors,

Not to speak of those big marines

'Cos I'm always doing something,

Something for the boys

I'm always doing something

For the lads if it adds to their joy

So don't tell me its a wrong thing

If I flop on some corporal's knee

'Cos I'm always doing something for the boys

Or they're doing something for me.
