GET IN YOUR SHELTER
(Lesley Sarony)

as recorded by Arthur Askey
1940


Bomb! Bomb! Get in your shelter,
Bomb! Bomb! Don't helter skelter!
Get yourself right underground
When those Nazis fly around!

Bomb! Bomb! Get in the habit,
Bomb! Bomb! Just like a rabbit!
Get yourself right underground
When those Nazis fly around!

Our AA gunners know their onions,
They'll protect the town!
Our airmen make the Jerries frown,
Tat-a-tat-a-tat, there's another one down!

Bomb! Bomb! Hats may be pinned up,
Bomb! Bomb! Don't get the wind up!
Get yourself right underground
When those Nazis fly around!

When the sirens wail,
Don't you all get worried!
Just let calm prevail,
Don't get hot and flurried!
Just collect your family
And quickly lead the way,
Simply shout out, "Bob's your uncle!",
And to them just say -

Bomb! Bomb! Get in your shelter,
Bomb! Bomb! Don't helter skelter!
Get yourself right underground
When those Nazis fly around!

Bomb! Bomb! Get in the habit,
Bomb! Bomb! Just like a rabbit!
Get yourself right underground
When those Nazis fly around!

Our AA gunners know their onions,
They'll protect the town!
Our airmen make the Jerries frown,
Tat-a-tat-a-tat, there's another one down!

Bomb! Bomb! Hats may be pinned up,
Bomb! Bomb! Don't get the wind up!
Get yourself right underground
When those Nazis fly around!

Our AA gunners know their onions,
They'll protect the town!
Our airmen make the Jerries frown,
Tat-a-tat-a-tat, there's another one down!

Bomb! Bomb! Hats may be pinned up,
Bomb! Bomb! Don't get the wind up!
Get yourself right underground
When those Nazis fly around!
Get yourself right underground
When the dirty devils are around!
