What are the lyrics to horrible histories The World War 2 Girls Song?

Answer 1

We're girlie's from the thirties,

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 Two

But we're not gonna boo hoo hoo.

It's our World War to do, girls!

Plenty we can do, girls!

We're the World War Two 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 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 Two girls,

This is our career!

I'm a plane, fixing planes,

Speaking photo, taking code,

Breaking air force mist!

Riddle man and lorry driver,

Weather guessing, foreign spying,

I do all this!

(She says that bit so quickly, I'm not sure if those are actually the lyrics, but I gave it my best shot.)

I took the role of Land Girl while our men fight far away,

Farming on the Home Front and helping save the day.

Tending crops and animals, manual labour hoods,

In the field, my uniform's this scratchy, tiny shirt!

When World War Two is over, though,

We'll be proud 'cause we will know

Thanks to us, it's true, girls!

Came to the rescue, girls!

We're the World War Two girls!

Original girl power

Answer 2

We are the roundheads we don't want kings no more

That's why we started the English Civil War

People say we're no fun but we disagree

Especially when explaining parliamentary democracy

We are particularly excited by the notions of jurisprudence…

That's enough dullness we're the cavalier crew

Supporting King Charles and everything that he'll do

Puritans bore us, it's really a crime

When your parliamentary business cuts up partying time

Round heads, sound heads, keep the music down-heads

Rules and regulations heads, dull but fair

Cavaliers three cheers, wackier head gears

We live to boogie with our peers, unfair? don't care!

I am the king, I can do what I like,

Start up a war, or a big tax hike

Got a French wife, she's a catholic

Oh Lore! Really King Charles we're not quite sure

Insolence! Is that how you talk to the crown?

I am the king, I'll just close parliament down

I think you'll find that's in breach of due process

Here's what we say to that: ffffft, now clear out this mess!

Round heads, sound heads, witches should be drowned-heads

Don't believe in crowned heads, parliament's our thing

Cavaliers three cheers, your superiors

We're all toffs who cry "hear hear" and "God save the King"

Fight fight fight fight, Fight fight fight fight

Cavaliers, round heads, the English Civil War

Why is it called "civil"?

May I kill you please?

Sure!

Lusting for wars to be fought on this land

If I get to power Christmas will be banned

No chance Cromwell, victory will be mine

You'll never pass a ban on mince pies and mulled wine

That's what you think, just wait 'til you're caught,

I also scrap theatre, music and sport

Your pathetic war will finish even before it's begun

We've taken Charles prisoner, the round heads have won

Oh

Victory three cheers cavaliers in tears

No power for years I'm the leader of the pack

Charles head round head hurrah now the king's dead

Sins binned instead a righteous track

But we'll be back!
