[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
We shall defend our island

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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Did you hear that plane flying overhead?
There's a house on fire and there's someone lying dead
We gotta clean up the streets
And get me back on my feet
Because we wanna 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!
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
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
