When Britain Really Ruled the Waves

   When Britain really ruled the waves--
   (In good Queen Bess's time)
   The House of Peers made no pretence
   To intellectual eminence,
   Or scholarship sublime;
   Yet Britain won her proudest bays
   In good Queen Bess's glorious days!
   Yes, Britain won ...
   
   CHORUS: Yes, Britain won ...
   
   When Wellington thrashed Bonaparte,
   As every child can tell,
   The House of Peers, throughout the war,
   Did nothing in particular,
   And did it very well:
   Yet Britain set the world ablaze
   In good King George's glorious days!
   Yes, Britain set ...
   
   CHORUS: Yes, Britain set ...
   
   And while the House of Peers withholds
   Its legislative hand,
   And noble statesmen do not itch
   To interfere with matters which
   They do not understand,
   As bright will shine Great Britain's rays
   As in King George's glorious days!
   As bright ...
   
   CHORUS: As bright ...
