LYRICS:
This war has brought a custom back that seems to be most fitting,
It was the vogue in grandma's time; it is the art of knitting.
Our women spend most of their time At knitting socks; they say it's fine;
They meet in groups of eight or nine,____ knitting, knitting, knitting.
This knitting game was something new to nearly every girl;
She had to learn to cast a stitch, to make a seam and purl.
But now they say its simply rich, It is-'nt hard to cast a stitch,
The work goes on with-out a hitch,____ Knitting, knitting, knitting.
Our women are a loyal crowd, their work is not for show,
Our soldier boys will sing their praise, where-ever they may go.___
This knitting's made an awful hit; For everybody's doing it;
You can't persuade the girls to quit___ Knitting, knitting, knitting.
