You fine men of war You hearts of oak You men of war Which fires are you gonna stoke Why did you deceive us With your fine tales of glory Did you have to deceive us It's such a shame and a disgrace for you Brave man of war You hearts of oak You men of war How I despise you you are just smoke Your cause is like lightning As we spring from your clutches The effect is quite frightening It kills all that it touches You were sent to teach us Little children in white But all you did was bleach is Whiter than white
