“Queen of
the Sea”
Hearts will glow, with admiration, When our new liner leaves the quay. And the name, loved by the
nation, Will give her charm and dignity. British labour gave its
skill ..... and it's giving me a thrill
.... cause I've booked my trip for the USA So when I go over the sea The Queen Mary takes me.
(Chorus)
I'm happy and gay,
cause I'm sailing away I've booked my trip for the USA On the finest ship in the world The Queen Mary ...... how'd you like to come with me? The ship is all British, it's wonderful too, The ship is manned by a British crew, So when I go over the sea, The Queen Mary takes me. There'll be fun galore and people I adore That's why I'm happy and gay, cause I'm sailing away On the finest ship in the world The Queen Mary ...... Queen of the Sea Words and music by Horatio Nicholls (1936) (aka. Lawrence Wright) Lawrence Wright Music Co. Ltd Written specially for the maiden voyage of the RMS Queen Mary in 1936
