Yass, dat is de way Victoriaw fin' us dis jubilee — Sometam we mak' fuss about noting, but it's all on de familee — An' w'enever dere's danger roun' her, no matter on Sea or lan', She'll fin' dat les Canayens can fight de sam as bes' Englishman!
An' onder de flag of Angleterre so long as dat flag was fly, Wit' deir English leader, les Canayens is satisfy leev' an' die — Dats de message our fader geev' us w'en day're fallin' on Chateaugay An' de flag was kipin' dem safe den, dat's de wan we will kip alway!
