[00:13.28] Is it worth it
[00:17.65] A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
[00:24.66] And a bicycle on the boys birthday
[00:30.05] Its just a rumour that was spread around town
[00:34.97] By the women and children
[00:38.04] Soon well be shipbuilding
[00:49.45]
[00:50.50] Well I ask you
[00:53.26] The boy said dad theyre going to take me to task
[00:58.41] But Ill be back by christmas
[01:02.53] Its just a rumour that was spread around town
[01:07.75] Somebody said that someone got filled in
[01:12.71] For saying that people get killed in
[01:17.71] The result of this shipbuilding
[01:23.16]
[01:26.47] With all the will in the world
[01:30.96] Diving for dear life
[01:35.42] When we could be diving for pearls
[01:41.43]
[02:00.20] Its just a rumour that was spread around town
[02:05.31] A telegram or a picture postcard
[02:09.98] Within weeks theyll be re-opening the shipyards
[02:14.91] And notifying the next of kin
[02:20.46] Once again
[02:23.40] Its all were skilled in
[02:28.38] We will be shipbuilding
[02:38.76] With all the will in the world
[02:43.60] Diving for dear life
[02:56.14] When we could be diving for pearls
