about

Song written about the singing group from the 1940's the Andrews Sisters- the last remaining sister died earlier in the month so I thought I'd write a song about them and that era...

lyrics

Here’s a little song about someone
who used to be the queen of the world
Along with her sisters, no one could resist here
Way back in the day they were three famous girls
Patty Maxine and Laverne

It was a different era, just before world war two
Before cellphones, or even TV
Singing on the radio, three famous lady- oh
Singing the boogie woogie bugle boys of company C
Patty Maxine and Laverne

They split up later, patty went solo,
But joined back, cause they were a team
But later they broke apart again, breaking all our hearts again
And by the end it got rather mean

And Patty was the youngest and the last to go
At the ripe old age of 94
But here’s to that era The gals and the fellas
Way back in the day of the second world war
Patty Maxine and Laverne
