LYRICS:

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
The boy said, ""Dad, they're going to take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas""
It's just a rumor, 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 life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
A telegram for a picture postcard
Within weeks, they'll be reopening 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
