| Do you mind a question? Please sir, stay | |
| What was life like in the olden days?" | |
| "Long ago, ago, ago, ago before the war" | |
| "Contractors to Her Majesty's Government we were | |
| Dealers in honest trade, aye | |
| There were some mighty queer folk about, | |
| But most were honest workers and knew their place | |
| I was a skilled craftsman, mark you | |
| The work was hard and the hours, they were long | |
| Ah, but there was a maiden | |
| And her name was Marjorie | |
| Long black hair she had like a gypsy | |
| And the prettiest smile I've ever seen | |
| And I called her an angel | |
| And I was right, she was | |
| Then there was the war | |
| The war... | |
| Forging a pathway for freedom | |
| Using resources we need them | |
| Though our foes are human beings | |
| We stand between them | |
| And the life we do condone | |
| Shipped out to Belgium to stop them | |
| Plastered and shelled them | |
| But lost ground | |
| Bombs and rockets, V2s over London city | |
| And the world at their command | |
| And back in Yeadon, Marjorie | |
| Stood beneath a factory | |
| I was assured she felt no pain | |
| Withdrawn from Dunkirk in cruisers | |
| Who cares says I, we're all losers | |
| No-one wins – both sides the victims of our nature | |
| May the future learn | |
| And back in Yeadon, Marjorie | |
| Died beneath the factory | |
| A Messerschmidt her destiny | |
| You who think the rest are wrong | |
| And stand so tall and feel so strong | |
| Please be sure that you yourselves are not mistaken | |
| For the future won't be long |
| Do you mind a question? Please sir, stay | |
