We think of the Royal Navy,
The mistress of the seas,
The powerful strength of the Army,
The guardians of our seas,
The undaunted Royal Air Force,
The Empires greatest yet,
Oft times you've caught us unprepared,
but we shall not forget.

We think of Winston Churchill,
His words 'Their finest hour',
Our finest hour will be your defeat
The day you're void of power,
We'll seek you and we'll crush you
To settle Europe's debt,
To avenge your blunders , Hitler,
But we shall not forget.

We think of joyful tears,
That peace will gladly bring,
The flowers and the country lanes,
The church bells happy ring.
We dream of all those lovely things,
The friends that we have met,
Hitler's failed to wreck those thoughts
But we shall not forget.
