Navy: | Manly
sailing on the deep blue sea. Navy seamen, that’s the stuff for me. Facing danger, and storms, or fighting with a buccaneer, (If) these don’t excite you, Then life in the navy might seem a trifle queer. We have lots of hobbies when we’re free: Knitting, sewing, and embroidery. In bell-bottoms and coats of blue, we’re cheerful all the day. (When) dressing up snappily, British tars happily, lead a life that’s gay. |
