Lyrics

Navy Stroke

Navy stroke

Navy stroke

Not too fast

Not too slow

The proper way

To row about

Navy stroke

Navy stroke

Just give in the message telling row away

Hope that I can find the proper words to say

Navy stroke

Navy stroke

Pull your weight

Set him straight

The grown-up way

To row about

Navy stroke

Navy stroke

If I keep that cottage and that tree in line

I'll get there and back home in next to no time

Navy stroke

Navy stroke

Keep it up

Like a clock

Tightly wound

And duty bound

Navy stroke

Navy stroke
