Captain Walker didn't come home
His unborn child will never know him
Believe him missing with a numer of men
Don't expect to see him again

Nurse *[First Nurse]:
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy
Chorus *[First Nurse, Second Nurse, and Doctor]:
A son! A son! A son!
*[Second Nurse:
Hear the joyful celebration in the streets
It's a boy born on this first day of peace
First Nurse, Second Nurse, and Doctor:
We've won! A son! We've won!]
Note: In the Tommy film soundtrack, the song "1921" became "1951" and all references to the year '21 are changed accordingly.
Lover:
I've got a feeling '21
Is gonna be a good year
Especially if you and me
See it in together.
Father:
So you think '21
Is gonna be a good year?
Could be good for me and her,
But you and her--no, never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather.
Mother:
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
He saw it all.
Mother & Father:
You didn't hear it.
You didn't see it.
You won't say nothing to no one
Ever in your life.
You never heard it.
Oh, how absurd it
All seems without any proof.
You didn't hear it.
You didn't see it.
You won't say nothing to no one
Never tell a soul
What you know is the Truth.
