   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 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 this 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
  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
