BILL:Get me?
HAP :Gotcha!
BILL:Get me?
HAP :Gotcha!
BILL:All for one and one for all
     dat's how us goils plays basketball!
     Get me?
HAP :Gotcha!
BILL:Get me?
HAP :Gotcha!
BILL:Dat's how I earn my weekly check
     with a rainbow 'round my shoulder
     and a girder 'round my neck!
BOTH:Hear the happy riveters!

BILL:A girl can love a sailor
     a butcher or a tailor,
     but nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
     A girl can love a plumber
     or someguy even dumber
     but nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
     She'd love to crook
     who'd break into jewerly shop;
     if she's a cook,
     she'd even love a cop.
     But when we start to rivet
     no woman can outlive it,
     so nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
     A girl can love an actor
     a lawyer or a contractor
     but nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
     A girl can love a painter
     whose paint makes her fainter,
     but nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
     King Salomon! Ten thousand wives all paid his rent
     and each one paid one-tenth of one percent
     but when we start to rivet
     no deaf girl would forgive it,
     so nobody loves a riveter but his mother!
