OBEY YOUR AIR RAID WARDEN
(Les Burness / John Burrows)


Tony Pastor & His Orch. - 1942




One, be calm
Two, get under shelter
Three, don’t run
Obey your air raid warden

Four, stay home
Five, keep off the highway
Six, don’t phone
Obey your air raid warden

There are rules that you should know
What to do and where to go
When you hear the sirens blow
Stop, look, and listen

Seven, don’t smoke
Eight, help all the kiddies
Most of all
Obey your air-raid warden

(Orchestral Break)
Stop, look, and listen

Dim the lights
Wait for information
Most of all
Obey your air raid warden

Stop the panic
Don’t get in a huff
Our aim today is to call their bluff
Follow these rules and that is enough

OBEY! your air raid warden
