She was standing in the corner, she was turning in her toes.

She must have been a senior—by the powder on her nose.

Her hair was bobbed and blond-like and she was someone’s pet,

But I went into action with the battlefield all set.

Rah! Rah! Flatbush! my mother wasn’t there,

But some papas are rather young and need a daughter’s care.

And that is why in Flatbush we have organized a guard,

Made up of little daughters of the men who work so hard.

Some day, of course, I will mature and know a little more,

But now I am content to be my mother’s Signal Corps.
