ANCHORS AWEIGH
STAND, NAVY, OUT TO SEA, FIGHT OUR BATTLE CRY;
WE'LL NEVER CHANGE OUR COURSE, SO VICIOUS FOE STEER SHY-Y-Y-Y.
ROLL OUT THE TNT, ANCHORS AWEIGH. SAIL ON TO VICTORY
AND SINK THEIR BONES TO DAVY JONES, HOORAY!
ANCHORS AWEIGH, MY BOYS, ANCHORS AWEIGH.
FAREWELL TO FOREIGN SHORES, WE SAIL AT BREAK OF DAY-AY-AY-AY.
THROUGH OUR LAST NIGHT ON SHORE, DRINK TO THE FOAM,
UNTIL WE MEET ONCE MORE. HERE'S WISHING YOU A HAPPY VOYAGE HOME.
BLUE OF THE MIGHTY DEEP; GOLD OF GOD'S GREAT SUN
LET THESE OUR COLORS BE TILL ALL OF TIME BE DONE, DONE, DONE,
ON SEVEN SEAS WE LEARN NAVY'S STERN CALL:
FAITH, COURAGE, SERVICE TRUE, WITH HONOR, OVER HONOR, OVER ALL.
The lyrics above are the "VICTORY VERSE" of the song, and not the fight song sung at the Naval Academy during sporting events. "ANCHORS AWEIGH" is not played when crowds are being dismissed and dispersing or during receptions and other times when it is awkward or inappropriate for the proper protocol to be followed.
"ANCHORS AWEIGH" IS OUR SONG, SYMBOLIC OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND GREAT ABOUT OUR NAVY.
NOW PLAYING: "ANCHORS AWEIGH"
