Thread Name: War Mongering Songs
Subject: RE: War Mongering Songs
Another one was "Remember Pearl Harbor", which I am looking for the words to. (If any one has them, please post them here). Also, my mother used to sing a song to me when I was a child, before the end of WWII. Only later on in life did I realize that it was anti- Japanese. The lyrics went like this:
Jap-a-needle, Jap-a-needle
I sew with my needle
And when I get married
I'll sew by machine
Did anyone ever hear this before ? I would like to trace the origins of this ditty. SOL ZELLER
