The Thing-Ummy-Bub (Remaster) - Gracie Fields

Written by：Heneker Thompson

I can't pretend to be a great celebrity

But still I'm quite important in me way

The job I have to do may not sound much to you

But all the same I'm very proud to say

I'm the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole

That holds the ring that drives the rod that turns the knob

That works the thing ummy bob

I'm the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil

That oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank

That works the thing ummy bob

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing ummy bob

Especially when you don't know what it's for

But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole

That holds the ring that makes the thing ummy bob

That makes the engines roar

And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil

That oils the ring that makes the thing ummy bob

That's going to win the war

I'm not what you would call a heroine at all

I don't suppose you'd even know me name

But though I'll never boast of my important post

I'll strike a blow for freedom just the same

That works the thing ummy bob

That works the thing ummy bob

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing ummy bob

Especially when you don't know what it's for

But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole

That holds the ring that makes the thing ummy bob

That makes the engines roar

And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil

That oils the ring that makes the thing ummy bob

That's going to win the war
