The Grand Old Fleet of England
Also taken from Mr. Payne's lecture.
The grand old fleet of England
What has it done we say,
The grand old fleet of England
What is it doing today,
They've been guarding the seas and our shores, sir
We are right here for to say,
*If it had not been for that same old fleet
How would we be standing in America today.
Repeat from *

The grand old fleet of England
What is it doing today?
The grand old fleet of England
What has it done for the U. S. A.?
It's protected our shores from invasion
In its own old quiet way,
If it had not been for that same old fleet
We would be fighting in America today—
If it had not been for that same old fleet
We would all be eating sauer kraut now.
