Roll boys, roll boys, roll boys roll.

 We’re bound for California out on the morning tide,
          Our wives & women waving on the crowded harbour side.

     Calling at the Falklands before we round the Horn
          The women of Port Stanley will keep us there till morn,

     Then its swing in the hammocks boys, and roll in the hay.
          And roll boys roll boys roll all day.	 Yes it’s..          chorus
