Subject: Send for Kaiser From: GUEST,Kim Waters Date: 21 Jul 00 - 04:12 PM I'm trying to locate a song from ca. 1945 called, I believe, "Send for Kaiser". It is about construction tycoon Henry J. Kaiser and refers to his ability to build things and do things that, "can't be done". Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Send for Kaiser From: Sourdough Date: 22 Jul 00 - 02:16 AM It's hard to believe that anyone would be looking for this song. Yes, I know of the song. I recently was looking at sheet music for it. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the lyric but the title is, "Call for Henry Kaiser". The sheet music I saw is in the University of California's Bancroft Library. I am in and out of there several times a year. Why don't you caontact me directly and I will see if I can help you get a photocopy or a recording if that is of more interest? Sourdough |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Send for Kaiser? / Call for Henry Kaiser From: Jim Dixon Date: 23 May 11 - 09:12 AM The song is actually CALL HENRY KAISER, words and music by Stephen McNeil, 1944. "Introduced by the Harmonettes." This information is from the catalog of Bancroft Library. I have a special interest in this because the first car my father owned was a Henry J. |

Subject: Lyr Add: CALL HENRY KAISER (Stephen McNeil) From: Sourdough Date: 26 Jul 11 - 01:16 AM Call Henry Kaiser Lyrics by Stephen McNeil If you want the best construction, And the speediest production Do away with all obstruction Jim Dixon is absolutely correct, it is "Call Henry Kaiser". (I get it mixed up with another famous cry from that period, "Call for Philip Morris. Here are the lyrics. I have since managed to find a recording. Call Henry Kaiser If you want to build a byway Or A subway or a highway Or even build a skyway He'll tackle a job others give up And make it fast and stronger But if the job's impossible, It takes a little longer He can build a dam or fountain He's a man that you can count on If you want to move a mountain Call Henry Kaiser Go on and call Henry Kaiser. |
