Mother and I went down to camp, All in the merry May-time, And saw the Service Soldierettes. As thick as bees in hay-time. Yankee Doodle, see them drill! Don't they trip it dandy? Marching all in khaki kit. So neat and trim and handy!
And some made bandages galore. And cooked with stove and fireless. And some were in the wigwag corps. Or doing stunts with wireless. Yankee Doodle, bless their hearts! Yankee Doodle dandy! All at work for Uncle Sam, So willing and so handy!
The Stars and Stripes and bugle calls, ■ They couldn't be resisted! We simply had to do our bit, And so we both enlisted. Yankee Doodle, keep it up! Yankee Doodle dandy! The girls will help you Uncle Sam, In any way that's handy! —Corinne Rockwell Swan.
