Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Wee Gas Mask (John J. Kerr)
My great untie used to sing this to me...

In ma wee gas mask,
Im working oot a plan
When aw the weans imagine that im just a boogey man
The girls all smile
And bring their friends to see
The nicest looking warden in the ARP

Whenever theres a raid on
You can hear me cry
"An aeroplane, an aeroplane a way way up a kye"
Ye can a rin helter skelter
But dont rin after me
You'll no get in my shelter cause it far wee

Twas on the 1st of April
Theres a black oot in the park
You couldnae see the blackoot
Cause the night was far too dark
A woman cried protect me sir
