Song: Rosie the Riveter
Lyrics: Redd Evans(1) and John Jacob Loeb(2)
Music: Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb
Year: (3)
Genre:
Country: USA
While other girls attend their fav'rite cocktail bar,
Sipping dry Martinis, munching caviar,
There's a girl who's really putting them to shame,
Rosie is her name
All the day long, whether rain or shine,
She's a part of the assembly line.
She's making history,
Working for victory,
Rosie (Brrr)* the Riveter.
Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage,
Sitting up there on the fuselage.
That little frail can do,
More than a male can do,
Rosie (Brrr)* the riveter.
Rosie's got a boyfriend, Charlie.
Charlie, he's a Marine.
Rosie is protecting Charlie,
Working overtime,
On the riveting machine.
This song was originally posted on
When they gave her a production "E",
She was as proud as a girl could be.
There's something true, about red, white and blue
