歌曲歌詞
Low sales high rent
No sandalwood for scent
Well pardon my dust
But Arden isn't folding up her tent
Necessity is the mother of invention
I will think of new things to invent
No silk for bows
No nylon left for hose
American ingenuity can compensate for those
Necessity is the mother of invention
And in war we must be on our toes
Launch our new lines
New products made for war
Bold new designs
They've never seen before
For sea and then in the airfield
A working women's corps
The ladies who bolt the rivets
On the airplane factory floor
Before I call it quits
I'll give 'em my two bits
What more have I ever needed than
The sharpness of my wits
America is in it
Let working women win it
In makeup of the minute women win
Necessity is the mother of invention
Let the fight of the century begin
All metal tubes and cases
For lipstick rouge and bases
Are needed now for bullets for the war
New plastics I invented
Now lipsticks won't get dented
Not even when you drop them on the floor right
With nylon stockings rationed
I truly felt impassioned
And cleverly refashioned women's hose
Draw seams with eyebrow pencil
And in between use stencil
New leg tan in a formula that flows
And once it dries it won't discolor clothes
You'll drone on there in heaven sent a fragrance free of lead
A lipstick for your uniform called montezuma red
Assembly lines use rubinstein's new bulletproof mascara
The rest use arden's combat packs traversing the Sahara
You think a thing
Manila to Berlin
Are helping defend our freedom from the enemy within
America will make it
No enemy can break it
Aaaaaaaa
With makeup made to take it on the chin
Yes ma'am
Necessity is the mother of invention
Brains and brawn brain and brawn
Brains and brawn
Dusk to dawn dusk to dawn
Women win
