Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the recording of Women's Flores Shulkin [spelling].
A "WAC Song," which she learned when she was in the Women's Army Corps, stationed at Los Alamos, New Mexico, from July 1944 to May 1946.

Here are the lyrics:
"We're just a P.O Number. We have no real address. They say we were selected. We wonder for the best.
We are not like other people. No one knows what we do. So P.O. Box 16632 here's to you.
They put us on a mountain outside of Santa Fe. Where the only signs of wildlife are GI wolves at bay.
We are on a secret mission and secret work we do. We are not to tell people what we do. But I don't know. Do you?
And when the war is over and from the hill we'll roam, we'll ride down from this Shangri-la to a veteran's home.
So heed my words you children of brilliance do not boast or you'll end up as we have in Los Alamos."
