Her iconic bathing suit photo made her the number-one pin-up girl of the World War II era. It was later included in the Life magazine project "100 Photos that Changed the World". Grable was particularly noted for having the most beautiful legs in Hollywood and studio publicity widely dispersed photos featuring them. Hosiery specialists of the era often noted the ideal proportions of her legs as: thigh (18.5") calf (12"), and ankle (7.5"). Grable's legs were famously insured by her studio for $1,000,000 with Lloyds of London.

on You're My Little Pin-Up Girl
lyrics are almost correct! but the second time she says “do you love your pinup girl,” you wrote by accident “you, you love your pinup girl” — but otherwise i think it’s pretty close! it’s just hard to tell from the intro, because the words are so muffled…

on You're My Little Pin-Up Girl
You're My Little Pin Up Girl
[Male Soldiers]
Wing-y ding ding,
miney mo.
Who's that darling of the U.S.O.?
War-y Lorrie,
Must be you!
Tell us a story,
Lorrie do!
[Lorrie/Betty Grable]
Okay, I'll tell you one that's true.
A boy sent his baby a note,
and this is exactly what he wrote, quote:
"Honey, don't worry your head about
those pin-up girls you've read about.
For you, most certainly know:
You're my little pin-up girl.
Honestly, you are.
To me, you have the grace of an angel,
a face of a movie star.
You're my little pin-up girl,
though we are apart.
When I'm in sleepy willow,
you're pinned on my pillow,
and also in my heart.
I have to have that smile before me,
no matter where I roam.
That twinkle in your eyes can warm me,
like a fireside at home.
Do I love my pin-up girl?
Bet you life, I do!
So baby, keep a-grinning,
remember I'm pinning my hopes on you!"
[Male Soldiers]
I have to have that smile before me,
No matter where I roam.
That twinkle in your eyes can warm me,
like a fireside at home.
[Lorrie/Betty Grable]
You, you love your pin-up girl.
[Male Soldiers]
Bet your life, we do, do-duh-do!
[Lorrie/Betty Grable]
Well baby, keep a-grinning!
Remember:
I'm pinning all my hopes on you!
(Note: These lyrics may be incorrect even though I don't think they are ^^ I translated them myself since I couldn't find any online for this song.)
