The polite 40's way to say shut up

During World War II women were pulled into the work world through necessity. Much of the popular culture of the time period, advertising, music, and movies attempted to convince women to join the war effort through working. Although much of this popular culture became well known, only one song hit the top 100's charts that even mentioned women working. The song is called "Milkman Keep Those Bottles Quiet" By Ella Mae Morse. The song talks about her working on bombers and riveting for the war effort and when she comes home the milk man is clinking around, and basically she says shut up in a classy 40's lady way.

Milkman, Keep those bottles quiet
Cant use that jive on my milk diet
So milkman, keep those bottles quiet

Been Jumpin on the swing shift, all night
Turnin out my quota all right
Now i'm beat right down to the sod
gotta catch myself some righteous nod

Milkman stop that grade A riot
Cut it out if you cant lullaby it
Oh, milkman keep those bottles quiet

Been knocking out a fast tank, all day
working on a bomber okay
boy you blast my wig with those clinks
And I gotta catch my forty winks

Now noise of the riviter rocks, don't mind it
cause the man with the whiskers has a lot behind it
but I can't keep punchin' with the victory crew
when you're making me punchy with that bottled moo

I wanna give my all if I'm guna give it
But I gotta get my shuteye if I'm guna rivet
So bail out bud, with that milk barrage
cus its unpatriotic, its sabatage

Been knocking out a fast tank, all day
boy you blast my wig with those clinks
And I gotta catch my forty winks

So milkman keep those bottles quiet

Ooooh, milkman keep those bottles quiet
Ooooh, milkman keep those bottles quiet

Quiet!
