Daddy, daddy, come and look! See what I have found!
A little ways away from here,
While digging in the ground.
Come away Melinda. Come in and close the door.
It's nothing, just a picture book they had before the war.
mtm
Daddy, daddy, come and see! Daddy come and look!
Why there's four or five little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book.
Come away Melinda. Come in and close the door.
There were lots of little girls like you before they had the war
Oh daddy, daddy, come and see! Daddy hurry do!
Why there's someone in a pretty dress,
She's all grown up like you. Won't you tell me why?
Come away Melinda. Come in and close the door.
That someone is your mommy you had before the war.
Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can.
Why can't things be the way they were before the war began?
Come away Melinda. Come in and close the door.
The answer lies in yesterday before they had the war.
Enjoy,
Mauri
