Here's to her who bears the nameA
Of our StateB
May the glory of her fameA
Be as greatB
In the battle's dread eclipseC
When she opens iron lipsC
When our ships confront the shipsC
Of the foeD
May each word of steel she utters carry woeD
Here's to herE

Here's to her who like a knightF
Mailed of oldG
From far sea to sea the RightF
Shall upholdG
May she always deal defeatH
When contending navies meetH
And the battle's screaming sleetH
Blinds and stunsI
With the red terrific thunder of her gunsI
Here's to herE

Here's to her who bears the nameA
Of our StateB
May the glory of her fameA
Be as greatB
Like a beacon like a starJ
May she lead our squadrons farJ
When the hurricane of warK
Shakes the worldL
With her pennant in the vanward broad unfurledL
Here's to herE
