The Deepest Shelter In Town
Composer(s): Jones
Performer(s): Florence Desmond



Don't run away mister
Oh, stay and play mister
Don't worry if you hear the sirens go
Though I'm not a lady of the highest virtue
I wouldn't dream of letting anything hurt you
And so before you go, I think you ought to know

I've got a cosy flat, there's a lace for your hat
I wear a pink chiffon négligé gown
And do I know my stuff, but if that's not enough
I've got the deepest shelter in town

I've got a room for two, a radio that's new
An alarm clock that won't let you down
And I've got central heat, but to make it complete
I've got the deepest shelter in town

Every modern comfort I can just guarantee
If you hear the siren call then it's probably me

And, sweetie, to revert, I'll keep you on the alert
I won't even be wearing a frown
So you can hang around here until the all clear
In the deepest shelter in town

Now honey, I don't sing of an Anderson thing
Climbing in one you look like a clown
But if you came here to see, why Sir John would agree
I've got the deepest shelter in town

Now Mr. Morrison says he's getting things done
And he's a man of the greatest renown
But before it gets wrecked, I hope you'll come and inspect
The deepest shelter in town

Now I was one of the first to clear my attic of junk
But when it comes to shelters nowadays it's all bunk

So honey, don't get scared, it's there to be shared
And you'll feel like a king with a crown
So please don't be mean, better men than you have been
In the deepest shelter
The neatest shelter
The deepest shelter in town
