Oh the navy life be all toil and strife
Drafted to sea by the point of a knife
Oh the navy life be all toil and strife
Here's to 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!
