letra de cheering the queen - cyril tawney

Loading...

[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
