Cover art for Put A Lid On It lyrics by Squirrel Nut Zippers

This song always makes me think of the "loose lips sink ships" posters of the 1940s, whether or not that was the intent of the artists. I picture the girl with that fake curly blonde hair and red lips, doing her one girly thing since she got a "man's job," which is gossiping.
