Give us more ships

Give us more ships

Over the oceans perilous,I heard our sailors calling to us
One clear call from the sea to the shore
We need more ships to win this war
Speed them we need them down the slips
Destroyers Cruisers and battleships,
Minesweepers Corvettes and Submarines
For these are the means and the only means
To keep White cliffs in violet
From rapine murder and Nazi hate
No hun will land on a British shore
If you give us more ships to win this war.

Out from harbour mouth into the murk
Where the Fokker Wolf drones and the Uboats luirk
I watched a mighty convoy sailing
Heard her sailors hailing hailing
Ho there Ho there you ashore
We need more ship to win this war
Over the waves wherein death dwells
We bring you the food and the guns and the shells
We bring you the lorries the planes and the tanks
And for this our duty we ask no thanks
All we ask is Give us more ships to win this war.

Give Us More Ships

Public appeal to save more for the war effort
