Is it worth it
A new winter's coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday

It's just a rumour 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 rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result 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 rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin once again

Oh, 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

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