Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
Draw a window on his skin now
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Fun Fact: “The Little Boy that Santa Forgot” sung by Vera plays in the opening scene of The Wall.
Vera Lynn’s older brother Roger, 103, was on hand to help his younger sister celebrate the big 1-0-0.
