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
