The Glory of Adventure

When the enemy's surrounding
And we think our nerves will fail
When we hear the trumpets sounding
And they make us quake and quail
Grab your mug and we'll be pounding
Down another round of ale!

Refrain: And we'll drink to the glory of adventure!

If there ever comes a day
When we think that we are lost
When we think that we must pay
That most dear and final cost
We'll just pass around the tray
And feel better when we're sauced!

Refrain

When we're angry and upset
Cause we ain't been gettin' paid
When we're tired, cold and wet
And a little bit afraid
We'll keep drinking and forget
That we ever were dismayed

Refrain

When the boredom makes us jumpy
And the motion makes us ill
When the food is cold and lumpy
A disgusting slimy swill
There's no reason to be grumpy
Tap a keg and drink your fill!

Refrain

When the captain's really sore
Cause he thinks he's being mocked
When he's pounding on the door
And we're certain to get socked
Have a drink and tease him more
We'll feel nothing if we're crocked!

Refrain
