We came from near; we came from far;
We could have followed that ancient star.
Seaman, Stokers,
Stores and Scribes,
we all were once.
We've even got some
Wren's too;
We'd all been dressed in Navy Blue.
But now we have another job;
We have at long last left the Mob.
Civilian life is not a bore,
We still enjoy our runs ashore.
We always try to do our best,
To help our brethren in distress.
We do it with a willing heart;
Loyalty and friendship must never part.
From Admiral down to lowest rates,
We're proud to be known as best Shipmates.
