Sing a Song of War-time,
Soldiers marching by,
Crowds of people standing,
Waving them Good-bye,
When the crowds are over,
Home we go to tea,
Bread and margarine to eat,
War economy!
If I ask for cake or
Jam of any sort,
Nurse says, What, in War-time?
Archie, certnly not!
Lifes not very funny
Now, for little boys,
Havent any money.
Cant buy any toys.
Mummie does the housework,
Cant get any maid,
Gone to make munitions,
Cause theyre better paid,
nurse is always busy,
never time to play,
sewing shirts for soldiers,
nearly evry day.
Evry bodys doing
Something for the War,
Girls are doing things,
Theyve never done before.
Go as bus conductors,
Drive a car or van,
All the world is topsy-turvy
Since the War began.
