Lance Corporal Alexander Barr, 193 Field Ambulance RASC

WAR WEAPONS WEEK

Well done Glasgow, and all the rest
For Savings Week you’ve done your best
Now it’s Paisley’s turn to show
How keen we are to crush the foe.

We need more tanks, more ‘planes, more guns
We need them all to beat the Huns
The road to victory we can pave
If all will do their best to save.

We’ve got the men, they’ve proved their worth
In every corner of the earth
Our need today is £.S.D.
Each shilling helps to keep us free.

Great Britain always has been free
The ruler of the mighty sea
If everyone will do his bit
Britain can still be greater yet.

Our Provost asks a million pounds
Paisley with patriots abounds
If each will save that little more
Above that figure we can soar.

Go to it, Paisley, show your mettle
And Hitler’s heroes we’ll quickly settle
Soon then this dreadful war will cease
And we shall live once more in peace.

© L/Cpl. Alexander Barr. 193 Fld. Amb. R.A.S.C.
