Thread Name: Origins: We Are the D-Day Dodgers
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'WE ARE THE D- DAY DODGERS
It was a rumor that was going around Sicily that Nancy Astor had made some comment on the florr of the House of Commons about "D-Day Dodgers" that prompted the song. "History is what happened, folklore is how people reacted to what happened." Although, I could swear I read somewhere that Henederson DID write the song(or maybe only part of it).
