The squire serves the gentleman
And the gentleman follows me
And in so doing learns the ways of skill and courtesy
I ever serve my lady for the love she gives to me

And the Rose and Lion stand and serve the King
For the King!
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King

The girl becomes a maiden
And the maiden follows me
And in so doing learns the ways of skill and courtesy
We ever serve the household with our hands and hearts and deeds

And the Rose and Lion stand and serve the King
For the King!
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King

We serve as those before us
And we teach it to our young
And fair the blooms that face the sky that from our soil have sprung
And oft our deeds are roared aloud when honor's praises are sung

And the Rose and Lion stand and serve the King
For the King!
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King
For the King!
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King
