Peggy, The Pin-Up Girl

Performed by Glenn Miller
Recorded April 29, 1944
Written by Evans and Loeb

Peggy Jo's had a picture took
It got in Life and it got in Look
Then the cameras began to click
And then my prayers really did the trick
Then her fortunes began to fly
She appeared on the March of Time
All the boys in the army camps
Wanted her picture put on postage stamps

She is the sweetheart of...
Plenty of soldiers
Plenty of sailors
Thousands of Marines
She's the girl they pin up in the barracks
She's the girl they pin up on the wall

In a plane or on a train
She's a friend, she's a pal
She was there when they landed
Down at Guadalcanal

She's the chick they all pick in the service
And they take her all over the world
Won't make a finding a queen
In a dime magazine
She's Peggy, the pin-up girl

Peggy, pinned up from the toes up
As the fella turned his nose up
When he sees Lamour or Grable on the screen*
Even a voice that's so [?]
Like Judy Garland on [?]
Can't compare to my pin-up queen

(They can't compare to my pin-up queen)

So Ginger Rogers started howlin'
And miss Powell** [?]
Peggy's dancin' 'cause the heat wave up in [?]
She has Betty Hutton's bigger
Lana Turner's classic figure
As the chassis, that they classy come home

She'd make time with each guy in the airforce
She'd make time with each guy on the ground

Oh this sweet little chick
Is the pick of the crew
And she just suits the taste of every waist gunner too

They were there in the air over Berlin
And her voice sounded clear as a [?]
I [?] bombadier, come on boys, let's drop one here
For Peggy, the pin-up girl

*Dorothy Lamour, Betty Grable
