I've got a recording of Gracie Fields doing this song as well as the Arthur (Ay thang yew) Askey version.

"You Must Remember This" Conifer records CDHD 265/6 if you're into songs from the war period.

The italic word above is BOSOM

"You've all seen Greta Garbo and our bosom friend Mae West"

(I understand Mae West had a large chest hence she also had a lifejacket named after her)

The first line in the second verse should be:

"She's not what you would call a heroine at all"

and the last line should be:

"She strikes a blow for freedom just the same."

A great song written by Heneker & Thompson probably around 1942

David Heneker, M.B.E., born in Southsea on 31 March 1906, is remembered for his songs and lyrics for Half A Sixpence (1963), after H.G. Wells' 'Kipps' but this was by no means his only stage show. For some of them like Jorrocks (1966) and Popkiss (1972) he wrote all the lyrics and music; for others like Expresso Bongo (1958), Make Me an Offer (1959), The Art of Living (1960), Charlie Girl (1965) and Phil the Fluter (1969) he had assistance though usually with lyrics rather than the music. He composed many "separate" songs as well: Girls in Khaki, Only Fools, There Goes My Dream and The Thing-ummy-Bob. In this field he was known to collaborate, One Exciting Night being written with John Turner and Walter Ridley, She's in Love with a Soldier with Noel Gay. Heneker came late to the musical world as he served as a regular army officer between 1925 and 1948.

Hope this helps
