Something For The Boys - Ethel Merman

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
