Spoken: "I can't pretend to be a great celebrity
But still, I'm quite important in me way,
The job I have to do may not sound much to you
But all the same, I'm very proud to say....."
I'm the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the ring that drives the rod that turns the knob
that works the thing-ummy-bob
I'm the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank
that works the thing-ummy-bob.
It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
Especially when you don't know what it's for
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the ring that makes the thing-ummy-bob
that makes the engines roar
And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that makes the thing-ummy-bob
that's going to win the war
Spoken: "I'm not what you would call a heroine, at all
I don't suppose you'd even know me name
But though I'll never boast, of my important post
I'll strike a blow for freedom just the same"
(Music)
That works the thing-ummy-bob
(Music)
That works the thing-ummy-bob
It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
Especially when you don't know what it's for
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the ring that makes the thing-ummy-bob
that makes the engines roar.
And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that makes the thing-ummy-bob
that's going to win the war.
"I'tis an' all"
