May his hand, so kindly and strong,
Yet for many a year the good ship launch
He has guided so well and long.
Success and long life to her faithful crew,
Long, long may they rally round,
And one and all, at their Captain’s call,
Be “ready and willing” found!
Then success and long life to the “G. O. P.”
’Tis with hands all round, and across the sea,
That we speed her forth with our three times three!
