See, See, the Cape's in View
Pass the good old bumper 'round
And never count the score
Drink your good old liquor down
And boldly ask for more.
Cho: He who will not merry, merry be
Shall never taste of joy
See, see, the cape's in view
Hark! forward, my brave boys,
Here's health unto her majesty
Ano long may she reign
Queen of all the seven seas
And pride of the Spanish main.
One thing more I'll ask of you
Before l count the score:
Give to me the one I love
And the key to the cellar door.
Once more unto her majesty
Then let the toast go 'round
Confusion to her enemies
Wherever they are found.
