cyril tawney - cheering the queen lyrics
[verse 1]
it happened on a sunny day in 1954
we went to greet her majesty a+comin’ from the tour
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 2]
their lordship said, “now cheer, me boys
but mind you make it smart
’cause nothing looks so ragged as a+cheerin’ from your heart”
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 3]
well, when we saw the signal, boys, it made your innards freeze
“on the order one, you hold your hats at forty+five degrees”
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 4]
“yes, at forty+five degrees, me boys,”
that’s what their lordship said
“on the order two, you wave your hats three times around your head”
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 5]
“and when you go to shout, me boys
be careful what you say
the word you use for cheerin’ is ‘hurrah’ and not ‘hoo+ray'”
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 6]
we sailed aboard brittania, boys, the finest ever seen
with every man a+standin’ like a petrified marine
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 7]
but when we reached the moment, boys, that every skipper dreads
a swarm of gnats as big as bats descended on our heads
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 8]
the boat was filled with wavin’ arms
and the air was filled with cries
as every [?] cursed and fought to keep them from his eyes
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 9]
the duke, he scratched his head as he watched us all depart
“that’s the first time i’ve seen sailor boys a+cheerin’ from their heart”
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 10]
we waved out way across the bay till we were out of sight
we waved our way all through the day and on into the night
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
[verse 11]
ah, the day we met the queen, me boys
is a day i won’t forget
if we hadn’t dived to ninety feet, we’d all be wavin’ yet
[chorus]
on a pretty submarine, on a pretty submarine
when sixty solid sailors went a+cheering of the queen
