Subject: RE: Origins: Chicago/I Used to Work in Chicago (bawdy)
I remember marching down the streets of Miami singing, "Nothing can stop the army air corps...we used to work in Chicago in a department store...we used to work in Chicago...I used to, but I don't anymore! A woman came in for some cigarettes; I asked her which kind she would adore? Camels she said, hump she got, I did but I don't anymore!"
1942. This quote is from Bill Grigsby's Grigs!: A Beauuutiful Life autobiography. After his induction to the Army Air Corp and waiting for training in cryptography.
