We are learning about The Second World War at school and we learnt this song:

There were rats rats,
Big as pussy cats,
In the store,
In the store,
There were rats rats,
Big as pussy cats,
In the store,
In the Quarter Master's store.

My eyes are dim I can not see,
I have not bought my specs with me,
I have not bought my specs with me.

There were eggs eggs,
That taste like plastic pegs,
In the store,
In the store,
There were eggs eggs,
That taste like plastic pegs,
In the store,
In the Quarter Master's store.


My eyes are dim I can not see,
I have not bought my specs with me,
I have not bought my specs with me.

There was fish fish,
lying in a dish,
in the store,
In the store.
There was fish fish,
lying in a dish,
in the store,
In the Quarter Master's store.

My eyes are dim I can not see,
I have not bought my specs with me,
I have not bought my specs with me.

There was tea tea,
but not for you and me,
in the store,
in the store.
There was tea tea,
but not for you and me,
in the store,
in the Quarter Master's store.


My eyes are dim I can not see,
I have not bought my specs with me,
I have not bought my specs with me.

There was flour flour,
but only for an hour,
in the store,
in the store.
There was flour flour,
but only for an hour,
in the store,
in the Quarter Master's store.

My eyes are dim I can not see,
I have not bought my specs with me,
I have not bought my specs with me.
