Shine Shine Somersetshire the Captain looks on her with pride
But he would have a blue fit if he saw all the shit on the side of the Somersetshire
This is my story this is my song I've been in the Rockapes to bloody long

Chorus:

So sail on the Nelson the Rodney, Renown 
We can't sink the Hood for the bugger went down
But we'll screw all the SP's that come down our way

Now the Zobbits and Sergeants and Corporals they all shout 
But they shout about things they know piss all about 
For all of the good that they do here
They might as well be
Shovelling shit on the Isle Of Capri

Chorus:

To market to market with my mucker Jim when somebody threw a tomato at him
Now tomato's are all right when wrapped in a skin but this one was wrapped in a bloody great tin
Ashinay chocks away and we'll screw all the WAAF's that come down our way
This is my story this is my song for I've been out in Aden to bloody long  (or Cyprus, Malta, Germany, Singapore or Borneo or wherever).

Chorus:
