Foreign Correspondent - Closing Monologue by Charles Bennett and Joan Harrison Lyrics
[Johnnie Jones]
It's death coming to London...It's too late to do anything here now except stand in the dark and let them come. It's as if the lights were all out everywhere, except in America. Keep those lights burning there! Cover them with steel! Ring them with guns! Build a canopy of battleships and bombing planes around them! Hello, America! Hang on to your lights. They're the only lights left in the world.
