World War II Girls Lyrics

We're girlies from the 30s
Wash the dishes, scrub the floor
When all of a sudden
Our hubbies went to war

Did you think we'd shrink
In England's needy hour?
You what? Course not!
'Cause we've got girl power!

Our men are fighting World War II
But we're not gonna boo hoo hoo
It's our World War II too girls
Plenty we can do girls
We're the World War II girls
Our war begins right here!

I make weapons in the factory
Drill and bolt and screw
With rules so strict they even
Time you when you're on the loo

Making bombs and bullets
Means I'm always mucky
I've put my name down for a bath
I'll get one if I'm lucky!

There is no job that we can't do
It wasn't long till our roles grew
Your country needs you girls
Army, navy too girls
We're the World War II girls
This is our career!

I am a plane fixing, plain speaking
Photo breaking, code breaking
Air force miss
Radar manning, lorry driving
Weather guessing, foreign spying
I do all this

I took the role of land girl
While our men fight far away
Farming on the home front
Helping save the day

Tending crops and animals
Manual labour hurts
In the fields my uniform's
This scratchy tie and shirt!

When World War II is over though
We'll be proud 'cause we will know
Thanks to us is due, girls
Came to the rescue girls
We're the World War II girls
Original girl power!
