Maura O'Connell

Shipbuilding

Clive Langer, Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Well I ask you
Boy said, "Dad they're gonna take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas"
It's just a rumor that was spread around town (Oh, it's just a rumor)
Somebody said the people get killed in
(Somebody said, somebody said)
The result of this shipbuilding

[Chorus]
With all the will in the world
Diving for real life
When we could be diving for pearls

[Verse 3]
(Whoa, it's just a rumor)
It's just a rumor that was spread around town (Spread around town)
A telegram or a picturе postcard
Within weeks they'll be reopеning the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding

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