On this night
The twenty first
Of October every year
We raise a glass on high
Toasting a victory at sea
In the year eighteen-o-five
Two hundred and fifteen years ago
At Trafalgar two fleets did meet
Those implacable foe
Who the RN did defeat
The French and Spanish fleet
A thousand men on Victory fought
To secure the seas for a hundred years
Nelsons men –
Masters of the seas
So raise your glass
And give three cheers
Give it your full throat
Rouse all of your compassion
To the men with
Hearts of Oak
Now, sing it! π
