"Mandy" was used during the Army Show for Army relief called "Yip Yip Yaphank" during World War I. Some of the soldiers in the show dressed in drag with other men dancing as their partners. This song and chorus line was also re-created for the movie This Is The Army in 1943 for the army relief. The copyright date is 1917.
