Thread Name: Songs You Learned in the Service?
Subject: RE: Songs You Learned in the Service?
My mom used to sing little ditties she learned during WWII, and I heard Davy's Dinghy (or "He had the cutest little dinghy in the Navy") a zillion times. (I found the lyrics to that one.) She had another favorite, but I can't remember all the words. Here's what I can recall:

Went downtown like a good girl should, picked up a sailor like I knew I would.
CHO: Listen while I tell you what he done to me.
Went upstairs like a good girl should, he followed me like I knew he would.
CHO

Seems like it had MANY more verses but I can't remember the rest. . . Nor can I recall the tune. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks!
