Daddy, daddy, come and look |
|
See what I have found |
|
A little ways away from here |
|
While digging in the ground |
|
Come away, Melinda |
|
Come in and close the door |
|
It's nothing, just a picture-book |
|
They had before the war |
|
Daddy, daddy, come and see |
|
Daddy, come and look |
|
Why there's four or five |
|
Little Melinda girls |
|
Inside my picture book |
|
Come away, Melinda |
|
Come in and close the door |
|
There were lots of little girls like you |
|
Before they had the war |
|
Oh daddy, daddy, come and see |
|
Daddy, hurry do |
|
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress |
|
She's all grown up like you |
|
Won't you tell me, why? |
|
Come away, Melinda |
|
Come in and close the door |
|
That someone is your mummy |
|
You had before the war |
|
Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can |
|
Why can't things be |
|
The way they were |
|
Before the war began? |
|
Come away, Melinda |
|
Come in and close the door |
|
The answer lies in yesterday |
|
Before they had the war |
