The Lyrics

I thought of this while researching the GM Arbitrator pistol.There is a little-known story that goes with this name during WW2. A woman who worked for General Motors supposedly was going to expose a double agent for the Nazis and he tried to kill her at her home. Her name was Bess Albright and she actually killed him with a pair of knitting needles! For her bravery and loyalty she was given a custom made General Motors issued Colt 1911A called the Arbitrator. It was from the same division (IIRC, the Lamp Light Division) that made the .45cal Liberator pistols. It is mentioned in the book, "Encyclopedia of Modern Firearms". It is noted that Bess Albright may be a cover name for the woman to protect her identity as she was relocated for her own safety. A unique weapon, no photo has ever surfaced of it and her story is very little-known. No photos of her either as her story was told in a single source in the 1990s when she would have been in her 70s. She is almost certainly deceased by now...
Unknown hero of WW2
Bess Albright, 1945

General Motors was a target too
I ain’t lyin’
Nazis were spyin’

German agent employed at plant
Was lookin’ around (gathering Intel)
Bess found out, grabbed her needles
Thrust into his head, she put him down (not so terrible)

Unknown hero of WW2
Bess Albright, 1945
Fought and survived

We love you
We love you
We love you
Delivered a fatal blow
But we don’t care
If you remain in secrecy
America’s gratitude bestowed

Lady Liberty
Unknown hero of WW2
Bess Albright, 1945
(killed a Nazi)

Robert - You've proven to be a splendid parodist over the last few months. One question - Have you cleared using this original song with JAB? (lol) ;D

LOL!!! I don't know why people have to bring up JAB for comparisons to me. I am unique and post whatever, whenever. I use the SJH song as a base for information parodies, that's why I have posted so many. But I am in no competition with anyone at AIR. I am used to an unmoderated NG and many forums, so I tend to write a lot. But now I'm learning about writing parodies. I make lots of mistakes but am slowly progressing. I am not JAB, I am RA ;-D

Wow! I'd say that Bess Albright sure got her "points" across with that Nazi double agent! ;-D, Now let me get my "points" across, my 555 points that is! :-)
