4M - Class Lyrics

WWII – 4M

Germans invading, sirens going mad

Bombs hit the playground, we’re feeling sad

Worried for our families, praying for our friends

“HELP! Winston Churchill – this war must end”

Times were hard for six long years,

Lots of fighting, lots of tears,

Lots of pain in world war two,

We can’t wait till it’s all through,

I was scared, I could see a bomb

It disappeared, where has it gone?

Then I shuddered, I heard a boom

It hasn’t blown up my bedroom

Times were hard for six long years,

Lots of fighting, lots of tears,

Lots of pain in world war two,

We can’t wait till it’s all through.

When you hear the siren sound

That’s when you move underground

Grab your gas mask then sit down

Try to keep calm – do not frown

Times were hard for six long years,

Lots of fighting, lots of tears,

Lots of pain in world war two,

We can’t wait till it’s all through.

When bombs drop down, people die

There’s so much pain, we all cry

Soldiers outside lost their lives

Their kids were sad – so were their wives

Times were hard for six long years,

Lots of fighting, lots of tears,

Lots of pain in world war two,

We are happy now it’s all through

(REPEAT CHORUS)

4P - Class Lyrics

WW2 – 4P

There is a day in November,

That we always will remember,

On our shirt, we wear poppies,

You can buy them from shoppies,

The war went on for six long years,

Where we cried lots of tears

This war will not last forever

We all have to work together

Let’s not live in fear and sorrow

There will be peace tomorrow

As evacuees we have a frown,

Because we have to leave the town,

I cried when I left my Mum,

But the countryside is fun,

I even made some lovely friends,

But I hope this war will end,

This war will not last forever

We all have to work together

Let’s not live in fear and sorrow

There will be peace tomorrow

This is my old teddy bear,

And just like me he’s really scared,

My teddy goes by the name of Ned,

And he really misses his bed,

Ned got left on the train platform,

And wasn’t found until the morn

This war will not last forever

We all have to work together

Let’s not live in fear and sorrow

There will be peace tomorrow

All the soldiers they were brave,

Lots of people they did save,

In World War 2, many died,

Lots and lots of people cried,

Soldiers they fought in the trenches,

They sat down on rotten benches

This war will not last forever

We all have to work together

Let’s not live in fear and sorrow

There will be peace tomorrow

Trenches; they were really damp,

It was dark - weren’t many lamps,

When the smoke comes down, grab your mask,

You have to do it really fast,

When the air raid siren starts to sound,

We have to all run underground,

This war will not last forever

We all have to work together

Let’s not live in fear and sorrow

There will be...

PEACE TOMORROW.
