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 


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 Mummy 
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
