AN AIR RAID
---------------------
The sirens are sounding an air raid is on
the enemy planes with missile and bomb ,
Run down to the shelters so fast or it will
be our days last ,
down in the shelters so safe underground
bombs are dropping we can hear the sound ,
The search lights are on searching the sky
to shine on the aircraft for the air gunners eye ,
Bombs are dropping they say it's going to be a big stick ,
And I'm wondering why I have not seen our little Dick ,
He was there when we heard the sirens call ,
but where is he we don't know at all ,
He's such a young boy he's only four , and I'm wondering
if he's in the shelter next door ,
Richard Richard I give the call but I am getting no answer
from him at all ,
Where Oh!! where can the little blighter be he should be
safe in here with me ,
I cannot go to find him while the raid is on , but we'll
have to search as he's my only son ,
All clear all clear we hear them shout let's get out of
here and search him out , we start the search for my little
boy but he's not playing with his favourite teddy toy ,
Houses have gone they are flat to the ground and our
little man he must be found ,
We are searching and shouting in the rubble and the dust
to find our Dick is a must ,
They are shouting here here I can hear someone cry ,
Quite quite it sounds like our Dicks cry , he is under
the rubble of the house next door he must have run
there when he heard the planes roar , they are digging
with shovels and with bare hands trying to bring him back
onto land , they are furiously working in the rubble and
the dirt and I'm just hoping my little boys not been hurt ,
When they get him out he is covered in grime and he's
crying Mammy Mammy all the time ,
I run to hold him and he's thankfully safe ,
and everyone calls him a naughty little waif ,
Take him to the Doctor we hear someone shout , but when we
get there the Doctor is out he is tending to the casualties of
this war people killed and maimed by the score ,
When we get him checked over he is fine and well just a
bit shocked is all we can tell , he is now home playing
with his toys just like all the other girls and boys …
