THAT'S OUR WAY.
We jaw and chatter? no;
When work we have to do
Straight at them, boys, we go,
With perhaps a cheer or two;
We let our broadsides, Jack,
Say all we have to say;
That we've done for ages back;
That's our way.
When work we have to do
Straight at them, boys, we go,
With perhaps a cheer or two;
We let our broadsides, Jack,
Say all we have to say;
That we've done for ages back;
That's our way.
Your French and foreign chaps
Palaver, froth and fuss;
Their chatter suits them perhaps;
It doesn't do for us;
For work, we keep our breath;
What's the use of jaw? we say;
Come victory or come death,
That's our way.
