You have never heard this sung properly, together with Heart Of Oak, if you haven't sung it at the end of a Mess Dinner in the Senior Gun Room at BRNC Dartmouth with the RM band providing backing.

The best amphibious assault troops ever

Fun fact: Donald Duck and Goofy sang this song at the beginning of the cartoon "No Sail".

Oh damn

[@BillThompson1955]

It's only fair--the lyrics and music were written by Americans in 1838. The song became popular in both the United States and Great Britain.
