Lyrics:
Britain's flag has always stood for
justice. Britain's hope has always
been for peace. Britain's foes have
known that they could trust us to do
our best to make the cannons cease.
Britain's blood will never stand for
insult. Britain's sons will rally at her
call. Britain's pride will never let her
exult, but we'll never let the old flag
fall.
We'll never let the old flag fall, for
we love it best of all. We don't want
to fight to show our might, but
when we start, we'll fight, fight, fight.
In peace or war you'll hear us
sing, \"God save the flag, God save
the King!\" At the ends of the
world, the flag's unfurl'd. We'll
never the let the old flag fall.
Britain's sons have always call'd her Mother.
Britain's sons have always lov'd her best.
Britain's sons would die to show they love her,
the dear old Flag laid on each manly breast.
Britain's ships have always rul'd the ocean.
Britain's sons will serve her one and all.
Britain's sons will show their true devotion
And we'll never let the old flag fall.
We'll never let the old flag fall, for
we love it best of all. We don't want
to fight to show our might, but
when we start, we'll fight, fight,
fight. In peace or war you'll hear us
sing, \"God save the flag, God save
the King!\" At the ends of the
world, the flag's unfurl'd. We'll
never the let the old flag fall.
