Jessie Pope - War GirlsJessie Pope - War Girls
Work rating: High


`There`s the girl who clips your ticket for the train, And the girl who speeds the lift from floor to floor, There`s the girl who does a milk-round in the rain, And the girl who calls for orders at your door. Strong, sensible, and fit, They`re out to show their grit, And tackle jobs with energy and knack. No longer caged and penned up, They`re going to keep their end up `Til the khaki soldier boys come marching back. There`s the motor girl who drives a heavy van, There`s the butcher girl who brings your joint of meat, There`s the girl who calls `All fares please!` like a man, And the girl who whistles taxi`s up the street. Beneath each uniform Beats a heart that`s soft and warm, Though of canny mother-wit they show no lack; But a solemn statement this is, They`ve no time for love and kisses Till the khaki soldier boys come marching back.
