Britannia's ready,
she's always ready
they've had a row
and now they're right in the war.
They've got their orders
to sail the waters
with cheery heart they start
for a foreign shore!
They're not excited
they're just delighted
to go and shake them,
make them stand up and roar,
like they never did before.

They're on their way to Germany
just see those British fighters,
foe exciters,
gettin' ready to go.
They're on their way
they'll win the day;
Just take a look
at those British brothers,
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving
Goodbye, stop grieving
Don't cry, they're glad to go
they'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
Over in Germany!

They're on their way to Germany
just see those British fighters,
foe exciters,
gettin' ready to go.
They're on their way
they'll win the day;
Just take a look
at those British brothers,
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving
Goodbye, stop grieving
Don't cry, they're glad to go
they'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
Over in Germany!

Come over near them,
come on and cheer them
they've got a right
to fight this battle,
because they've been invited
to go and fight it,
and so they're in to win
and they'll never pause.
They're going to take them,
and then they'll make them
with head erect respect
Britannia's laws.
Give three cheers for them, because!

They're on their way to Germany
just see those British fighters,
foe exciters,
gettin' ready to go.
They're on their way
they'll win the day;
Just take a look
at those British brothers,
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving
Goodbye, stop grieving
Don't cry, they're glad to go
they'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
Over in Germany!

They're on their way to Germany
just see those British fighters,
foe exciters,
gettin' ready to go.
They're on their way
they'll win the day;
Just take a look
at those British brothers,
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving
Goodbye, stop grieving
Don't cry, they're glad to go
they'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
Over in Germany!
