- Britons once did loyally declaim
- About the way we ruled the waves.
- Every Briton’s song was just the same
- When singing of her soldier-braves.
- All the world had heard it–
- Wondered why we sang,
- And some have learned the reason why–
- But we’re not forgetting it
- And we’re not letting it
- Fade away and gradually die,
- Fade away and gradually die.
- So when we say that England’s master,
- Remember who has made her so.
- It’s the soldiers of the Queen, my lads,
- Who’ve been, my lads, who’ve seen, my lads.
- In the fight for England’s glory, lads,
- When we’ve had to show them what we mean:
- And when we say we’ve always won
- And when they ask us how it’s done,
- We’ll proudly point to every one
- Of England’s soldiers of the Queen.
We’re not forgetting it
