M In this setting, a singing GI, played by Chuck Nelson argues with the French museum attendant about the foolishness of the famous ^BBBSBM statue Venus de Milo, as compared to his girl back home.

My Venus wears clothes She powders her nose My Venus can walk and talk baby talk And blush like a rose.
