Mr. Churchill Says

by Ray Davies

Mr. Churchill says
We got to fight the bloody battle to the very end
Mr. Beaverbrook says
We got to save our tin
And all the garden gates
And empty cans are going to 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

Mr. Montgomery says
And Mr. Mountbatten says
We got to 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 on fire and there's someone lying dead
We got to 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 going to win the way that Mr. Churchill says

Mr. Churchill says
We got to hold up our chins
We got to show some courage and some discipline
We got to black up the windows and nail up the doors
And keep right on till the end of the war
