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 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 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

With all the will in the world

Diving for dear lives

When we could be diving for pearls
