Shipbuilding |
| Is it worth it? |
| A new winters coat and shoes for the wife |
| And a bicycle on the boy’s birthday |
| It’s just a rumour that was spread around town |
| By the women and children, soon we’ll be shipbuilding |
| Well, I asked her |
| The boy said 'Dad, they’re going to take me to task |
| But I’ll be back by Christmas' |
| It’s just a rumour that was spread around town |
| Somebody said that someone got filled in |
| For saying that people get killed in |
| The results of their shipbuilding |
| With all the will in the world |
| Diving for dear lives |
| When we could be diving for pearls |
| It’s just a rumour that was spread around town |
| A telegram or a picture postcard |
| Within weeks we’ll be reopening the shipyard |
| A notefying the next of kin once again |
| Oh, it’s all we’re skilled in |
| We will be shipbuilding |
| With all the will in the world |
| Diving for dear lives |
| When we could be diving for pearls |
