Biography:
George Formby, OBE (26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961), was a British actor, singer-songwriter and comedian. He sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele. He was a major star of stage and screen in the 1930s and '40s, when Formby became the UK's highest-paid entertainer. His songs such as "When I'm Cleaning Windows" were particularly popular during the Second World War (1939–45).
When he and his wife travelled throughout the war, creating improvised lyrics to songs to fit the situation, they delighted their audiences.

On the other side of the world
BRIDGE 1

keep the old banner unfurled,
So to you my thanks I’m tending for the parcels you’ve been sending, to the other side

Alternative “Farewell” Chorus
I’m going back home next week way over the foam, to the other side of the world,
Such nice people I’ve met I shall leave with regret, for the other side of the world,
And though the rations are short, but all the food that you’ve brought, have helped to
keep the old banner unfurled,
So to you my thanks I’m tending for the parcels you’ve been sending, to the other side
of the world
