Mammy, Mammy come and look
See what I've found
A little way away from here
While digging in the ground
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, but a picture-book
They had before the war
Mummy, Mummy, come and see
Mummy, come and look
There's five or six Melinda girls
Inside this picture book
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Mummy, Mummy, come and see,
Oh Mummy, hurry do!
There's someone grown up very tall
Who doesn't look like you
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
Your father was a man like him before
They had the war
Mummy, Mummy, come and see
Such things I've ever seen
There's happy faces all around
And now the ground is green
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's just a way it used to be, before,
They had the war
