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
college joys, 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.
Original Lyrics attributed to Lieut. Charles
A. Zimmermann, USN and Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart
Miles
Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky. We'll
never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y. Roll up the score,
Navy, Anchors Aweigh. Sail Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink
the Army Grey.
Get underway, Navy, Decks cleared for the fray,
We'll hoist true Navy Blue So Army down your Grey-y-y-y. Full speed
ahead, Navy; Army heave to, Furl Black and Grey and Gold and hoist the
Navy, hoist the Navy Blue
Blue of the Seven Seas; Gold of God's
great sun Let these our colors be Till all of time be done-n-n-ne, By
Severn shore we learn Navy's stern call: Faith, courage, service true
With honor over, honor over all.
