Lyrics

Is it worth it?

A new winter coat and shoes for the wife

And a bycicle 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 back by Christmas

It's just a rumour that was spread around town

Somebody said that someone got filled in

For saying that people that killed in

The result of the 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 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
