Come, cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer
To add something new to this wonderful year
To honour we call you, as freemen not slaves
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?
Hearts of oak are our ships
Hearts of oak are our men, we always are ready
Steady, boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
We'll still make them fear and we'll still make them flee
And drub them ashore as we've drub them at sea
Then cheer up, my lads, with one heart let us sing
Our soldiers, our sailors, our statesmen King
Hearts of oak are our ships
Hearts of oak are our men, we always are ready
Steady, boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
