Shouting, cheering Hip Hip Hooray
Celebrating V.E Day – In honour of the fallen
Shouting, cheering Hip Hip Hooray
Everyone is out in the street
Hugging strangers, oh how sweet
Smiles and laughter back in vogue
No more bombs to explode
Ladies in their Sunday best
Twirling round so full of zest
Food is laid out for every child
Tummies about to pop, they all smiled
Celebrating is bitter sweet
Some families are incomplete
Men cut down by bullet and shell
No chance to say farewell
Glasses are raised as a tribute
To a mans loss so acute
Their bravery we honour
By waving a victory banner
