  • Well Mr. Churchill says, Mr. Churchill says
    We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
    Mr. Beaverbrook says we gotta save our tin
    And all the garden gates
    And empty cans are gonna make us win
    We shall defend our island
    On the land and on the sea
    We shall fight them on the beaches
    On the hills and in the fields
    We shall fight them in the streets
    Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to so few
    Cause they have made our British Empire
    A better place for me and you
    And this was their finest hour
    Well Mr. Montgomery says
    And Mr. Mountbatten says
    We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
    As Vera Lynn would say
    We'll meet again someday
    But all the sacrifices we must make before the end
    Did you hear that plane flying overhead
    There's a house an fire and there's someone lying dead
    We gotta clean up the streets
    And get me back on my feet
    Because we want to be free
    Do your worst and we'll do our best
    We're gonna win the way that Mr. Churchill says
    Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Well Mr. Churchill says
    We gotta hold up our chins
    We gotta show some courage and some discipline
    We gotta black up the windows and nail up the doors
    And keep right on till the end of the war Writer/s: RAYMOND DOUGLAS DAVIES
