1 Song 1: THE BIGGEST WAR IN HISTORY The nations of the world, the Axis and the Allies So many countries fought, because of Hitler s rallies From nineteen thirty-nine, for six long years it raged And fifty million died as the war of wars was waged World War 2 The biggest war in history For half a dozen years, Japan and China battled The Germans fought the Poles, Old sabre blades were rattled And war was soon declared, On Hitler and his men As other countries fell, A world war once again World War 2 The biggest war in hist ry The Germans then attacked, The Russians in the winter Pearl Harbour was destroyed, The fronts began to splinter A dozen wars began, In Europe and the east The Allies joined as one, Till struggles finally ceased World War 2 The biggest war in hist ry (X2)

2 Song 2: IF A WAR COMES TO US Father, Jane and Susan: [melodramatically] And it happens like Chamberlain said. If the Germans do make it ashore, I would lock up me kids in the shed! The gas-masks are awful, the blackouts are too. We feel really hungry, but what can we do? We will fight for the land we adore. Father[spoken]: I m afraid of what I ll have to do. If I m called-up and I have to go, Will my Family be here when it s through? : The gas-masks are awful, the blackouts are too. We feel really hungry, but what can we do? We will fight for the land we adore. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile! If a war comes to us as they say, Then no school is a definite win! We would have every day just to play, If this bloomin old war would begin! The gas masks are awful, the blackouts are too, We feel really hungry, but what can we do? We will fight for the land we adore. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile!

3 SONG 3: I M ON MY WAY We re on our way to who knows where; We re evacuees leaving on a train. Our mums and dads all said goodbye. They don t know when we ll be back again. To the countryside, London far behind. We don t know what our fate will be. We re on our way to who knows where, But we like it, We re evacuees. We re on our way to who knows where; We re evacuees leaving on a train. Our mums and dads all waved goodbye. They don t know when we ll be back again. To the countryside, London far behind. We can t tell what our fate will be. We re on our way to who knows where, But we like it, being evacuees. (slow) Now we ve arrived and we ve been met By people who say that we can stay. We all stand there awkwardly As other boys and girls are quickly led away. We are lonely now, miss our mums and dads, Just don t know how being away might be. We have to do what we are told. Have no choice, cuz we re evacuees. And now we re on our way (We re on our way, we re on our way, we re on our way) We re on our way, we re evacuees!

4 SONG 4: WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN Soldiers We are travelling in the footsteps Of those who ve gone before And we ll all be re-united On a new and sunlit shore Oh when the Saints go marching in When the Saints go marching in Oh, I want to be in that number When the Saints go marching in And when the sun begins to shine And when the sun begins to shine Oh how I want to be in that number When the sun begins to shine We are travelling in the footsteps Of those who ve gone before And we ll all be re-united On a new and sunlit shore Oh when the Saints!... etc Oh when the trumpet sounds its call Oh when the trumpet sounds its call Oh, how I want to be in that number Oh when the trumpet sounds its call Oh when the Saints!... etc

5 SONG 5: THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN : The battle of Britain was fought in the air By pilots in Spitfires, by men who would dare To go into battle, to fight the good fight; They did it because they believed it was right. When German planes flew over England they found The flak from the British, from guns on the ground Was deadly combined with the squadrons of men Who fought them so bravely again and again. We re saluting the RAF Many went to a fiery death. They flew high over Germany, Changed the course of our history. The battle of Britain was fought in the air (echo) By pilots in Spitfires, by men who would dare (echo) To go into battle, to fight the good fight; They did it because they believed it was right. We re saluting the RAF Many went to a fiery death. They flew high over Germany, Changed the course of our history. (repeat 2x more)

6 SONG 6: CAN SOMEONE COME AND HELP US? Sarah: Can someone come and help us? Things have gone from bad to worse, With Jews in Warsaw dying here of hunger and of thirst. The Germans and collaborators keep us trapped inside. We all live in a prison where there is no place to hide. My mum is sick and doctors cannot come to visit her. We cannot go to school and yellow stars are what we wear. Our movements are restricted and we re horrified to hear That death camps are being built so Jews will finally disappear.

7 SONG 7: WHAT HAS BECOME OF MY CITY? Jorgen: What has become of my city? I see The RAF has done their worst I know that I won t see mutter or papa Neither will I see my brother Horst I fought for so long for the country I love Now most of my companions are dead We could have saved so many innocent lives If there d just been talking instead What will I do now the war has been lost? And what has all the fighting been for? My family are gone, I finally know That Germany has really lost the war.

8 SONG 8: HOME AGAIN Susan+Jane: I slept last night in my own comfy bed It was so nice to lay down my poor tired head And I m home again now Yes, I m home again now Sarah and S s Mother: Through my mind ran memories of years far away When I felt so lonely from day to day But I m home again now Yes, I m home again now : You re home again, where you belong, With family by your side. May dreams of war not mar your sleep May you drift away in a slumber deep May your life never more witness violence or strife For we love you and wish you a peaceful life Horsht + Jorgen: There were lots of friends who did not get away. There were parents who wanted their children to stay But they ll never come home No they ll never come home You re home again, where you belong, With family by your side. May dreams of war not mar your sleep May you drift away in a slumber deep May your life never more witness violence or strife For we love you and wish you a peaceful life
