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 |
