GUEST,Joan E-T , Ottawa,, Canada Origins: My Gal's a Corker/...Girl's a New Yorker (106* d) RE: Lyr Req: My Gal's a Corker 07 Jan 09


I learned this as a teenager during World War two, probably by the summer of 1942 or 1943. The verses I remember--sung around the campfire in the Kawartha Lakes in Ontario, Canada-- sound as if it was a version sung in the US Navy.

My Gal's a corker. She's a New Yorker. I buy her everything to keep her in style.

She's got a pair of eyes Just like two lemon pies Oh boy, that's where my money go-o-oes.

A great big NOSE, Just like a rubber hose...

A pair of LIPS, Just like potato chips...

A pair of HIPS, Just like two battleships... A pair of LEGS, Just like two whisky kegs... A pair of FEET, Just like the U.S. fleet...
