The first, and best, girl group of all time.

"When we think we cant go on, we find we cant get enough" What a great line!

Man alive, I hope people realize just how outstanding these ladies were! The band, the tune, lyrics, the dynamics, key & time changes. The Greatest Generation in SOOO many ways! I'd sure love to be that anklet on Patty's left ankle!!

They are amazing, they way they sing and dance.. Patty is lovely and so expressive. That's what I call having a real talent <3

You know, the Andrew Sisters were before my time, but I've seen them numerous times in movies older than me. I absolutely love them!

Wow! The effort that must have gone into such a production! Great camera angles, sound is clear, and all the sisters look great in the movie.

I'm gettin' corns for my country
At the Hollywood Canteen
The hardest workin' junior hostess
You've ever seen
I'm doin' my bit down here for Uncle Sam
I'm a patriotic jitterbug
Yeah, yeah, that's what I am
I'm gettin' corns for my country, you should see the pounds fly
I'm gettin' down the waistline and I don't even try
I don't need a Duberry or a Westmore course
'Cause my weight's been taken over by the Army Air Force
We're not petite as sweet Joan Leslie, but then we never mind
When those GI's knock the South, we're glad that we're the healthy kind
The way those cowboys from the prairie expect us to sashay
I think I'd rather two step with their horses any day
We're gettin' corns for our country though the goin' is tough
When we think we can't go on, we find we can't get enough
So if you hear of a soldier, sailor or marine
Tell him to look us up at the Hollywood Canteen
I used to be aesthetic, they say, oh yes I was, really I was
I served the drama, arts and the ballet
But the theatre guild came over and said, forget about Pavlova
Learn to cut a rug, so now we're jitterbugs
I'm gettin' corns for my country, so I'm really all in
In a week from now we'll be here with our usual vim
So if you hail from the Bronx, Des Moines or Aberdeen
Come down and ask for us at the Hollywood Canteen

The Andrew can ever forget them? They performed a lot for a long time and never wore out! Great video showing their generous talent for the Hollywood Canteen bringing morale to the military men.

Laverne was around 33 here - Patti around 26 - and Maxine was around 28. 😊

It just amazes me how tight the vocals were. And what I find funny is that when they start walking toward the stage, they never look at each other but are in time and step. Also they dip their heads the same way and time on certain words. I betting none of that was choreographed, but just from being together so long.
