The Fall of Singapore No. 3
Since the day we were fighting our spirits have fell
And although it's not showing it's easy to tell
After long days of fighting our chances were rare
For something was missing the boys of the air
-o-
But still the boys keep slamming the shells up the bore
In attempt to keep enemy close to the shore
The big guns kept barking, till all shells had gone
So it was left to the Infantry to try and carry on
-o-
They took up positions, our front line was swell
With the carriers support, they fought on like hell
They did their best in spite of the heat
They kept fighting hard, but they knew they were beat
-o-
Although we have lost, the people of England never knew
Our hardships and trouble that we were going through
The lives that were lost on an island that was sold
People of England you'll know when you are told
-o-
God bless all my pals who fell in the line
Although they have gone, their spirits will shine
So Tommies on the island who have lost pals of their own
Please think of them always when you get home.
