If The Girlies Could Be Soldiers 1915

In song and story,
for fame and glory,
to war men go
if things were so
I'd like to know
if all the cuties
and all the beauties
should march away,
sweet and tenderly,
meet the enemy;
diff'rent it would be.

If the girlies could be soldiers,
smokeless powder on their shoulders,
men would want to go to war
to adore girls galore.
Love would be their ammunition,
hearts, they'd win by intuition.
No more shot and shell,
war would not be hell
if girlies only went to war.

If the girlies could be soldiers,
smokeless powder on their shoulders,
men would want to go to war
to adore girls galore.
Love would be their ammunition,
hearts, they'd win by intuition.
No more shot and shell,
war would not be hell
if girlies only went to war.

Instead of trenches
they'd use park benches;
for each attack,
they have the knack
of flirting back,
they fight a nation
with osculation
and capture hearts;
men would fall for them,
forget all of them;
pris'ners they would be.

If the girlies could be soldiers,
smokeless powder on their shoulders,
men would want to go to war
to adore girls galore.
Love would be their ammunition,
hearts, they'd win by intuition.
No more shot and shell,
war would not be hell
if girlies only went to war.

If the girlies could be soldiers,
smokeless powder on their shoulders,
men would want to go to war
to adore girls galore.
Love would be their ammunition,
hearts, they'd win by intuition.
No more shot and shell,
war would not be hell
if girlies only went to war.
