Send along another load

And win that war, win that war

One more to go and then one more

One more to go and then one more

One more to go, one more to go

Send them along and win that war

Send them along, send them along

Send them along, send them along?

Hey, you!

- Me?

- Your ID.

My which?

Oh, I ain't here to work.

- NoWhat for, then?

- I'm looking for a corporal named...

You can't go in to see a general

without proper identification.

- You've gotta have a pass.

- Well, where do I get one?

From the security officer.

- Where's he?

- Securing himself, in Washington.

Your corporal will be a brigadier

time he gets back here.

Lift 'em up and put 'em down

Lift 'em up and put 'em down

Mark time

and lift your tootsies

Six inches off the ground

Lift 'em up and put 'em down

Marching all around the town

Company, squads right

That means turn around!

Wish that I was 21

- Squad, hup!

- Old enough to tote a gun

I'd go and be a soldier

They're the ones that have the fun

Wish I was a bugle man

Playing in the army band

I'd blow until I bust it

Playing in the army band?

Glad you could find the time

to join us.

Hope we didn't inconvenience you,

Corporal.

Joe! Joe!

Wipe that smile off your face.

Fall in!

All guard, present arms!

Present arms!

All guard, order arms!

All guard, file!

At ease!

- Cindy Lou!

- Surprised to see me?

You can say that again.

Oh, Joe, I know

I ain't smart like you,

but if the way I feel makes up

for it, then I's way ahead.

- How you been, honey?

- Missin' you. My ma said...

- She all right?

- Uh-huh.

When I got your letter, she say

"Cindy Lou, you go see Joe off."

Woulda come anyway.

Hey, hey! Going to flying school's

nothin' to cry about.

Either got to cry...

or bust!

I'm so proud of you.

Come onto this side of the fence

and tell me that.

- Can't.

- Why not?

- Got no pass.

- Just you watch.

Joe, don't get into trouble

on account of me!

I never saw trouble look better.

Hey, Corporal! Pass that civilian.

- You're the Joe she's looking for?

- Nobody else.

- Why didn't you say you're his gal?

- All the way.

Then you're responsible.

All the way.

Hey, Dave!

Put away my gear for me, will ya?

Thanks.

Congratulations, Corporal.

That Air Corps was smart in picking

you for officers' flying school.

Thanks!

- Hi, Carmen.

- Hi.

Well, get a load of

this hip-swinging floozy

rolling around to work

in time for lunch.

Hey, puss.

You make sounds I don't like.

I'm telling the foreman

you was late again.

You do that and I'll scratch out

the one good eye you got left.

Hey, Carmen. How about going to

Pastor's with me tonight?

I can dance those other guys

right off the floor.

T- Bone, you too little and too late.

I don't waste no time. Dig me, baby?

Wastin' your time right now,

Sergeant.

The wind's blowing

in another direction.

Ain't no use arguin'

with the wind.

Hey, how about going out with me

tonight instead of playing the field?

Yeah, Carmen. Pick out one.

That'll release the rest of 'em.

I won't pick out a man

And he won't pick out me

It don't go dat way

You can't ever know

Where your crazy heart

Wants to go

Love's a baby dat grows up wild

And he don't do

what you want him to

Love ain't nobody's ngel child

And he won't pay any mind to you

One man gives me his diamond stud

And I won't give him a cigarette

One man treats me like I was mud

And all I got, dat man can get

Love's a baby

that grows up wild...

Dat's love

- He don't do what you want him to

- Dat's love

- Love ain't nobody's ngel child

- Dat's love

- And he won't pay any mind to you

- Dat's love

You go for me and I'm taboo

But if you're hard to get,

I go for you

And if I do,

then you are through, boy

My baby, dat's the end of you

The end of you!

So take your cue, boy

Don't say I didn't tell you true

You know you're through

I told you truly

If I love you

Dat's the end of you

You go for me

and I'm taboo

But if you're hard to get,

I go for you

And if I do,

then you are through, boy

My baby, that's the end of you

The end of you!

So take your cue, boy

Don't say I didn't tell you true

She told you true!

I told you truly

If I love you,

dat's the end of you?

Gimme a chicken sandwich.

When your lover decides to fly

Dere ain't no door

dat you can close

She just pecks ya

a quick goodbye

And flicks the salt from her tail

and goes

If you listen,

then you'll get taught

And here's your lesson for today

If I chase ya,

then you'll get caught

And once I got you, I go my way

- When your lover decides to fly

- Dat's love

- Dere ain't no door you can close

- Dat's love

- She pecks you a quick goodbye

- Dat's love

Flicks the salt from her tail

and goes

Dat's love

You go for me and I'm taboo

But if you're hard to get,

I go for you

And if I do, then you are through

Boy!

My baby, that's the end of you

The end of you!

So take your cue, boy

Don't say I didn't tell you true

She told you true!

I told you truly

If I love you

Dat's the end of you!?

I hear you're gonna be a fly boy.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

I hope if you're gonna use

a parachute, it's one I made.

I'd like to toss a party for you

tonight at Billy Pastor's.

Give you a real send-off.

Pick me up at eight.

We'll have ourselves a ball.

Sorry. I've got a date.

Honeybee, if you change your mind,

you know where to buzz me.

That girl's mighty pretty.

Oh, I don't know.

She's what the fellas back home

call a hot bundle, I guess.

Yeah.

Looks like she's on fire

just for you.

I never lit it, honey.

How do I know?

Cos I got a girl.

But I live in another town

and I know what the fellas say.

"If you got a gal in another town,

well, you ain't got no gal at all."

Yeah, but you're not just any girl,

Cindy Lou.

There's nobody in the whole worid

like you. Nobody.

- Except...

- Except who?

The maw.

You talk just like my maw

You even walk just like my maw

And I know why I'm stuck on you

It's cos I'm just like my paw

I talk just like your maw

I even walk

Just like your maw

And I can see why you like me

Cos you is like your paw

- You's awful like your paw

- Oh

Let me tell you

what the Lord did

He made me live next door

So we could fall in love

The way my paw and maw did

Is you my Cindy Lou?

I is your Cindy Lou

And I belong to you

And I belong to you

I is your Joe

My Cindy Lou

And I belong

To...

You?

- Cindy, suppose I asked my CO...

- Asked him what, Joe?

To write OK in triplicate.

And what if I found a chaplain

and I said "Sir, here are orders

for a rushed wedding"?

Joe...

No use waiting till the war's over

for us to get married,

not when I got a 24-hour pass.

Our honeymoon could be tonight.

What'll our folks say,

us not getting married in church?

What do you say?

You wait right here

while I go find the CO.

You blabbermouth witch! I told you

if you told the foreman on me, I'd...

Go back to that bad street

you come off of!

Take that off. What's this?
