Shipbuilding

[00:17.20] Is it worth it?
[00:22.13] A new winter coat
[00:24.80] And shoes for the wife
[00:27.72] And a bicycle
[00:31.23] On the boy's birthday
[00:34.34] It's just a rumor
[00:35.64] That was spread around town
[00:39.41] By the women and children
[00:42.46] Soon we'll be shipbuilding
[00:50.08] Well, I ask you
[00:54.76] The boy said, "Dad
[00:56.09] They're going to take me to task
[01:02.57] But I'll be home by Christmas"
[01:06.75] It's just a rumor
[01:08.28] That was spread around town
[01:11.84] Somebody said
[01:13.12] That someone got filled in
[01:17.02] For saying that people get killed
[01:20.68] In the results of their shipbuilding
[01:30.07] With all the will in the world
[01:35.04] Diving for dear life
[01:39.26] When we could be diving for pearls
[01:46.05] It's just a rumor
[02:05.34] That was spread around town
[02:08.70] A telegram for a picture postcard
[02:13.76] Within weeks
[02:15.21] They'll be reopening the shipyard
[02:18.77] And notifying the next of kin once again
[02:26.94] It's all we're skilled in
[02:31.88] We will be shipbuilding
[02:41.62] With all the will in the world
[02:46.14] Diving for dear life
[02:50.32] When we could be diving for pearls
[03:03.21]
