Subject: RE: Help: Rosie the Riveter
My mom did the 'Rosie' thing during WW2. She use to sing it all the time. I can only recall the following.

All day long, weather, rain or shine,
She's a part of the assembly line,
She's making history, working for victory, ROSIE! rat a tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat,
The rivitor!

Rosie has a boyfriend, Charlie,
Charlie, he's a Marine,
Rosie is protecting Charlie,
Working all day with that riviting machine.

I'm sorry, it's all I can remember, I don't know if the words or correct or not. I do remember how very proud mom was to have that job making war planes. Guest
