"Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip" is a ragtime song published as sheet music in 1918 by Leo Feist Inc. of New York City. It was one of the most popular tunes with United States soldiers during the World War I era. According to the sheet music,〔(sheet music on Gallica )〕 it was "written around a Fort Niagara fragment" by Robert Lloyd, "Army song leader." In 1918, both Victor Records (VI18510) and Columbia Records (A-2530) issued a recording of the song by Arthur Fields and the Peerless Quartet. The musical score was reprinted in a war edition.〔Paas, John Roger (2014). America Sings of War: American Sheet Music from World War I. Harrassowitz Verlag. p. 221. ISBN 9783447102780.〕 It was sung (in part) in John Cassavetes' film ''Husbands (film).'' It was parodied by the Washington DC group Bill Holland and Rent's Due as "Good Mornin' Mr. Snip Snip Snip." The chorus of the Tom Waits song "Barbershop" contains the lines "Good morning, Mister snip snip snip/With your hair cut just as short as mine." ==Lyric== We come from ev'ry quarter, From North, South, East and West, To clear the way to freedom For the land we love the best. We've left our occupations and home, so far and dear, But when the going's rather rough, We raise this song in cheer: (repeat twice ) Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, With your hair cut just as short as mine, Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, You're surely looking fine! Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, If the Camels don't get you, The Fatimas must, Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, With your hair cut just as short as, your hair cut just as short as, your hair cut just as short as mine. You see them on the highway, You meet them down the pike, In olive drab and khaki Are soldiers on the hike; And as the column passes, The word goes down the line, Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, You're surely looking fine. (chorus twice ) The reference to "Camels" and "Fatimas" (fa-tee'-mas) is to popular brands of cigarettes of the time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
