"we must, we must, we must increase our bust..."

This saying, chanted by girls to physical exercise intended to achieve this result, is of far greater antiquity than a 1970's novel. I am told that young British women used to recite it during the 1940's. The full text is;

• "I must, I must, I must improve my bust,"
• "The bigger the better,"
• "The stronger the sweater,"
• "The boys are depending on us!"

The use of the term sweater indicates a reference to the "Sweater Girls" as some of the 1940's "Pin ups" were known. As such I shall amend the note in the article. LessHeard vanU 19:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
