'danny'

‘CALL-UP TIME’ They’ve taken our Danny to war, they have. They’ve taken our Danny to war. I wish he’d come home ‘cos I feel all alone- So what have they taken him for? Who’s gonna pass on his trousers? Who’s gonna give me some sweets? Humbugs and pear drops and tiger nuts too. And chocolate sometimes, for a treat. Who’s gonna keep up our veg patch? Who’s gonna dig up the spuds? Do all the weeding and planting and stuff- An’ chop sticks to make us some wood? Who’s gonna help with the chickens? Who’s gonna pick up the eggs? And comfort me Mam when she feels a bit low An say ‘Just sit down-rest yer legs’. Who’s gonna help me be grown-up? Who’s gonna stop me being sad? They’ve sent for our Danny so what will I do When I need someone just like me Dad? They’ve taken our Danny to war, they have. They’ve taken our Danny to war. I wish he’d come home ‘cos I feel all alone So what have they taken him for? Colin Trenholme
