Is it worth it?

A new winter coat and shoes for the wife

And a bicycle on the boy's birthday

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?

Somebody said that someone got filled in

For saying that people get killed in

The result of this shipbuilding

A telegram or a picture postcard

Within weeks, they'll be re-opening the shipyards

And notifying the next of kin, once again
