Lyrics : Shipbuilding

Is it worth it?
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding

Well I ask you
Boy said, "Dad they're gonna take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas"
It's just a rumor that was spread around town (Oh, it's just a rumor)
Somebody said the people get killed in
(Somebody said, somebody said)
The result of this shipbuilding

With all the will in the world
Diving for real life
When we could be diving for pearls

(Whoa, it's just a rumor)
It's just a rumor that was spread around town (Spread around town)
A telegram or a picturе postcard
Within weeks they'll be reopеning the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding

With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
When we should be diving for pearls
