It’s VE Day! – Lyrics

Chorus
All cheer for VE Day!
War here has stopped today,
Peace now is on the way so
Let’s shout hooray!
All sing for VE Day!
There is a holiday,
We’ll party right away so
Let’s all celebrate!

V1
Churchill announced that war would end,
Time for the world to heal and mend,
No more our homes we must defend,
Now that the fighting’s over.

(Spoken)
Victory in Europe! Victory in Europe!
Victory in Europe! Time for peace!

Chorus

V2
Vict’ry in Europe for the brave,
King George came out to smile and wave,
World peace at last is what we crave,
Look to a brighter future.

Chorus
