Lyrics
Mommy, mommy, come and look And see what I've found A little way away from here While digging in the ground Come away Melinda Come in and close the door It's nothing but a picture book They had before the war Mommy, mommy, come and see Oh mommy come and look There's four or five Melinda girls Inside this picture book Come away Melinda Come in and close the door There were lots of little girls like you Before they had the war Mommy, mommy, come and see Oh mommy hurry do There's someone grown up very tall Who doesn't look like you Come away Melinda Come in and close the door Your father was a man like that Before they had the war Mommy, mommy, come and see Such things I've never seen There's happy faces all around And all the ground is green Come away Melinda Come in and close the door That's just the way it used to be Before they had the war Mommy, mommy, come and see And tell me if you can Why can't it be the way it was Before the war began? Come away Melinda Come in and close the door The answer lies in yesterday Before they had the war
