From The Old Yacht Tavern
From the old Yacht Tavern down to Mudlarks Way,
From the Sailing Barge Iverna, (down) to Peartree Wharf today,
Greenwich Yacht Club breathed its first and now is here to stay -
And we
Till Old Father Thames has drained away
And we
Till Old Father Thames has drained away
A hundred years of sailing, in rain and snow and sun;
A hundred years of meeting when the long day
Wars and storms and floods and fires
Stopped us building up our club with what we all have got.
So here
And one to all our officers who stand for me and you.
Here
May they always sail where
And here
And to the duty officers when we
Here
May their winds be fair and skies be clear and dolphins grace their bow. ..
