Shipbuilding lyrics
Is it worth it, a new winters coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boys birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children, soon we'll 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"
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 life, 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 will be reopening the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin, once again
It's all we're skilled in,
We will be shipbuliding
With all the will in the world
Dining for dear life, when we could be diving for pearls
