Shipbuilding |
Is it worth it A new winter coat and shoes for the wife |
And a bicycle on the boys birthday |
Its just a rumour that was spread around town |
By the women and children |
Soon well be shipbuilding |
Well I ask you |
The boy said dad they’re going to take me to task |
But I’ll be back by christmas |
Its just a rumour that was spread around town |
Somebody said that someone got filled in For saying that people get killed in The result of this shipbuilding |
With all the will in the world |
Diving for dear life |
When we could be diving for pearls |
Its just a rumour that was spread around town |
A telegram or a picture postcard |
Within weeks they’ll be re-opening the shipyards |
And notifying the next of kin |
Once again |
Its all were skilled in We will be shipbuilding |
With all the will in the world |
Diving for dear life |
When we could be diving for pearls |
