Thread Name: Lyr ADD: We're in the Swiss Navy? / King's Navy
Subject: ADD Verse: King's Navy
Well, Haruo, in Song Fest and in the Digital Tradition, it's called King's Navy. Song Fest has an additional (women's) verse not in the DT - I'll put that verse in bold letters.
-Joe Offer-

KING'S NAVY

We don't have to march with the infantry
Ride with the cavalry, shoot the artillery
We don't have to fly over Germany
We are the King's Navy

We are the King's Navy
We are the King's Navy

We can drink champagne with the best of them
Gin with the worst of them, beer with the rest of them
We are the empire's big hairy-chested men
We are the King's Navy

We drink scotch, scotch with the best of them
Gin with the worst of them, beer with the Dartmouth men
We like great big [sigh] hairy-chested men
We are the sweet bloomer girls.
    We are the sweet bloomer girls.
    We are the sweet bloomer girls.
We drink scotch, scotch with the best of them (as above)
