Thread Name: Lyr Req: Quartermaster's Stores
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Quartermaster's Stores
If I remember correctly, this was on an Oscar Brand album, which might have been called "Bawdy Barracks Ballads". This version focused on various potables, and the verses listed the type of booze and effect:

"Oh, it's rye, rye, rye that makes you want to cry, In the Corps, in the Corps, in the Quartermaster Corps."

Other sets were gin/want to sin, brandy/feel so handy, and scotch/gets you in the crotch. I'm not sure if my daughter invented "coke/makes you want to choke" or if we picked it up someplace.
