Anchors Aweigh

Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry;

We’ll never change our course, so vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.

Roll out the TNT: BOOM. Anchors Aweigh, Sail on to victory

And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.

Farewell to foreign shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.

Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,

Until we meet once more. Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home

Blue of the Mighty Deep; Gold of God’s great sun

Let these our colors be till all of time be done-n-n-ne,

On Seven seas we learn Navy’s stern call:

Faith, courage, service true with honor over, honor over all.
