Got a sister in the navy
She wears a raincap and a white jumper when it's warm
Got a sister in the navy
She wears a raincap and a blue jumper when it's cold
Yes she does
She's got a whistle on a string
A navy bed and everything
She stays at sea at an aircraft carrier
I'm so proud that she's fighting for us out there
Got a brother in a factory
Turning screws for the munitions industry
Got a brother in a factory
Making bombs for the munitions industry
(Big bombs!)
Yes he is
He wears a white boiler suit
And on his feet he's got his Doctor Martens boots
Last week the factory went out on strike
Mum says he should be glad to have a job
Got a sister
Got a brother
Got a mother and a father in a little house
Got a sister
Got a brother
Got a mother and a father in a little house
I've got a father in the police
He wears a helmet with a pair of size 14 boots
I've got a mother in the kitchen
She wears an apron with a map of Nova Scotia on the front
Yes she does – she does
We can't afford a nicer car
Just have to stay the way we are
And the way we are is how we're always going to stay
Living life from day to day
Happy ever after in our tiny little house
Got a sister
Got a brother
Got a mother and a father in a little house
Got a sister
Got a brother
Got a mother and a father in a little house
Got a sister
Got a brother
Got a mother and a father in a little house
Got a sister
Got a brother
Got a mother and a father in a little house
