Who met Spain's Armada with daring and with skill
And cut them up just like a mutton pie? (Sir Francis Drake!)
And who, when at Trafalgar, displayed unflinching will
And thereby did Napoleon in the eye? (Horatio Nelson!)

And who in the royal navy established that rigid time
That firm, inflexible interval known as tea? (Admiral Boom!)
Yes, time has been my watchword; punctuality
Though the world takes its time from Greenwich
Greenwich takes its time from me


Admiral Boom, Boom
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom
The name for punctuality you may safely assume
Safely assume, sume, sume, sume, sume, sume, sume

Is known throughout the Admiralty...
It's me! (Aye, sir!)
Oh yes, It is I, Admiral Boom
