What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Is it worth it?
2
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
3
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday.
4
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
5
By the women and children, soon we'll be shipbuilding
6
Well I ask you
7
The boy said 'Dad, they're going to take me to task
8
But I'll be home by Christmas.
9
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
10
Somebody said that someone got filled in
11
For saying that people get killed in
12
The results of their shipbuilding.
13
With all the will in the world
14
Diving for dear life
15
When we could be diving for pearls.
16
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
17
A telegram for a picture postcard
18
Within weeks they'll be reopening the shipyard
19
And notifying the next of kin
20
Once again.
21
It's all we're skilled in
22
We will be shipbuilding.
23
With all the will in the world
24
Diving for dear life
25
When we could be diving for pearls.
