The bombing was bad in London
The bombing was bad in London
Daddy sent Mummy away
far out into the countryside
away from all the fray
The pilot of the bomber
sighted on the bridge
as a taxi drove across
a target ...couldn't miss
The bombs were dropped
the deed was done
the crew was 'bout to
have some fun…but...
The taxi barely made it
we cleared the bridge in time
the bridge blew up the taxi flew
Let's have a glass of wine...
so Mother went to the nursing home
and soon I came along...and
was toasted at 10 Downing Street
with scotch and gin and song
