was looking to come up with my own version of “mail, mail” but couldn’t quite find the perfect balance
= = = = = = = = =
Actually I was responding to your ‘call to arms’ - then when we arrived at the rendezvous point we could break into a rousing chorus of
“Mail, mail, the gangs all here decked in their mail”
I guess the fems would rise up were we to make the statement
“It takes a real male to wear mail”.
AND a real horse to carry both.
HAIL ! HAIL ! THE GANG'S ALL HERE !
(Words by D.A. Estron / Music by Theodore Morse and Arthur
Sullivan, 1917)
Irving Kaufman - 1943 Fred Astaire A gang of good fellows are we, (are we,)Are we, (are we,) are we, (are we,)
Are we, (are we,) are we, (are we,)With never a worry you see, (you see,)
You see, (you see,) you see, (you see,)We laugh and joke, we sing and smoke,And live life merrily;
No matter the weather When we get togetherWe have a jubilee.
[Chorus]
We love one another we do, (we do,)We do, (we do,) we do, (we do,)
With brotherly love and it's true, (it's true,)
It's true, (it's true,) it's true, (it's true,)
It's one for all, the big and small,It's always me for you;
No matter the weatherWhen we get together We drink a toast for two.
[Chorus]
