Shipbuilding (1983)
Is it worth it?A new winter coat and shoes for the wifeAnd a bicycle on the boy's birthdayIt's just a rumour that was spread around townBy the women and children; soon we'll be shipbuildingWell, I ask 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's spread around townSomeone said that someone got filled inFor saying that people get killedIn the result of this shipbuildingWith all the will in the worldDiving for dear lifeWhen we could be diving for pearlsIt's just a rumour that was spread around townA telegram or picture postcardWithin weeks they'll be re-opening the ship yardAnd notifying the next of kin once againIt's all we're skilled in, we will be shipbuildingWith all the will in the worldDiving for dear lifeWhen we could be diving for pearls From Letras Mania
