Sing a song of rule Britannia! Sing in praise of Britain's boys: Jolly Jack, the sailor with his breezy style, Mister Tommy Atkins, of the rank anf file. They're the lads we can depend on Where danger comes our way For fathers were all fighters and what's bred in the bone Is sure to come out, some day
Boys in khaki, boys in blue Here's the best of jolly good luck to you! You're all right in love or war, You'll get there again, just the same as you've done before. It's no idle boast or brag When we get you both together, there's sure to be dirty weather For anyone who tramples on the flag!
Sing a song of rule Britannia! Now there's fighting work to do, Ever staunch and ready, when the hour is nigh, British boys know how to fight and how to die. Lads, we know you'll do your duty, Whatever fate may bring. You have got the pluck and muscle, so make your battle cry For Empire, for Home and King!
