We fought them on the beaches
their guns did surely reach us
how we destroyed them in the air
stopped them bombing without a care
we chased their glory on the sea
there was no mind to let it flee
shells and fire, sank with all its men
watery grave, not seen again
finally, victory is mine and yours
the evil gone, has been destroyed
the enemy has lost its head
we come home to sadly count our dead.
