Lyrics:
P-O-M to the P-E-Y
Take me to the coast with the great blue sky
I wanna see lots of English boats
After hundreds of years, they're still afloat

Wlecome to the HMS Victory
She was the pride and joy of the Royal Navy
When launched in 1765
She kept Britain's hopes against the French alive

Battle of Trafalgar off the coast of Spain
Lord Nelson hatched a plan straight from his brain
Not parallel, he sailed straight ahead
The plan worked well, but he wound up dead

Victory kept the French out of the King's hair
And in honor of Nelson, he got his own square
And since that day in 1805
Victory's heritage is kept alive

P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me

This is the HMS Warrior
Her iron hull made all inferior
To add to that technological wonder
She was steam driven through the water

She was so imposing she kept everyone at bay
She never saw a battle 'cause everyone just stayed away
From 1869 to '83 she remained in play
She bridged the gap from the old sailors to the battleships of today

P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me

Shh everybody it's the Mary Rose
First to be able to fire a broadside was one of her pros
Launched in 15010 by King Henry the eighth
It was in this ship Britain placed their faith

In 1545 France threatened to invade
And our good ole Mary rushed to Britain's aid
But to the King and Country's woe
Before the battle Marry mysteriously sunk to her grave below

P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me

Rising high above Portsmouth Harbor is Spinnaker Tower
If Pompey were a garden, she'd be a sunflower?
Completed in 2005 to the tourists' and locals' delight
She reaches 588 feet, that's 170 meters, in height

With three decks all covered with a-many glass panel
You can see all of Portsmouth, the Isle of Wright, and the English Channel
On her bottom observation deck she has a glass floor
Yeah I dared to walk on air, but it made my stomach sore

P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me

And now I'm on this awesome harbor cruise
And I'm passin' lots of boats and I'm hearin' the news
And I'd tell you more about this newest boat
But if I told you more they'd slit my throat

Here's home to many famous people too
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his super sleuth
And before my country let him in
Schwarzenegger worked out at Ed's Gym

P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me

And now I recommend you take the trouble
Head down to Pompey, do it on the double
And while you're there you'll learn some history
Heck you might even run into me

While exploring Portsmouth I've worn out my shoes
And sorry little ladies, I've got some bad news
While this rap is nearly done
You should subscribe to my channel for some more fun

P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me
P-O-M to the P-E-Y (x3)
Pompey is the place for me


Thanks to Mike for the bass line http://www.youtube.com/onearmedbandit86
