Come cheer up my lads, tis to glory you steer
To add something new to this wonderful year
To honour we call you, not press you like slaves
For those who are free as the sons of the waves
Hearts of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men
We always are ready, steady boys steady
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again

We ne'er see our foes but we wish then to stay
They never see us but they wish us away
If they run why we follow, and run them ashore
For if they won't fight us, we cannot do more
Hearts of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men
We always are ready, steady boys steady
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
