Here's to the Royal Navy

Oh the navy life be all toil and strife,

drafted to sea at the point of a knife.

Oh the navy life be all toil and strife.

Here's to the the Royal Navy aye!

We don't get any food, and we don't get any rum

we work all day afore the barrel of a gun

We don't get any food, and we don't get any rum

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But when we make port, only this I will say

I live like a king for a night and a day

Then the ale is on me and the whiskey is free

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But the waves roll high and soon I shall die

see in the Royal Navy there's no point to deny

That when we ship out I might never come back

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

Our bosun walks with a pointy stick

pokes you in the arse if you're not very quick

Our bosun walks with a pointy stick

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

Our captain be fatter than a knocked up pig

waddles around neath the aft castle rig

Our captain be fatter than a knocked up pig

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But when we make port, only this I will say

I live like a king for a night and a day

Then the ale is on me and the whiskey is free

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But the waves roll high and soon I shall die

see in the Royal Navy there's no point to deny

That when we ship out I might never come back

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

Oh a navy lad must learn his place

They knocked out the teeth off me bonny bonny face

Oh a navy lad must learn his place

Here's to the royal navy aye!

We sleep 16 men with the rats and the pox

stole away my nose in the Amsterdam docks

We sleep 16 men with the rats and the pox

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But when we make port, only this I will say

I live like a king for a night and a day

Then the ale is on me and the whiskey is free

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But the waves roll high and soon I shall die

see in the Royal Navy there's no point to deny

That when we ship out I might never come back

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

See, us Bully bully boys we don't grow old

I lost three fingers in the blistering cold

See, us Bully bully boys we don't grow old

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

Oh the life at sea sure will take its toll

Poor Billy left his legs on a French cannon ball

Oh the life at sea sure will take its toll

Here's to the Royal Navy aye

But when we make port, only this I will say

I live like a king for a night and a day

Then the ale is on me and the whiskey is free

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But the waves roll high and soon I shall die

see in the Royal Navy there's no point to deny

That when we ship out I might never come back

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!

But the waves roll high and soon I shall die

see in the Royal Navy there's no point to deny

That when we ship out I might never come back

Here's to the Royal Navy aye!
