(Verse 1) Oh, the Prince of Wales, she sailed so true, A mighty ship with a loyal crew. Her steel was strong, her heart was bold, A story written in waters cold. Through the waves of war, she made her mark, A beacon shining in the deep and dark. From Denmark Strait to the distant east, Her guns roared loud, her spirit unleashed. (Chorus male choir shout) Sing, lads, sing of the Prince of Wales, Through stormy seas and battle gales. A ship of honor, a ship of pride, Her name will echo where oceans collide. (Verse 2) In the Denmark Strait, she joined the fight, Against the Bismarck’s dreadful might. With King George’s blessing, she stood her ground, Her cannons thundered, their fury unbound. But fate would call her to eastern seas, Where war’s cruel hand brought her to her knees. With Repulse beside her, the skies turned black, A relentless storm that launched its attack. (Chorus male choir shout) Sing, lads, sing of the Prince of Wales, Through stormy seas and battle gales. A ship of honor, a ship of pride, Her name will echo where oceans collide. (Bridge) The skies rained fire, the waters burned, And to the depths, the Prince was turned. But in her fall, her legend grew, Her name lives on with her stalwart crew. (Outro spoken) Oh, Prince of Wales, your tale’s not done, Your spirit shines in the rising sun. So raise your voices, let the shanty swell, For the Prince of Wales, we remember well.
