Sur la mer et sur terre
Ces gars là font la guerre
Même dans les sous-marins
Tous ces bons camarades
Dans toutes les parades
Nous rendent fier d’être des Canadiens
Refrain
Faut pas faire son finfin
Devant nos marins
Ces gars-la n’ont jamais peur de rien
Attention les voilà, regardez-moi ça
Y en n’a pas comme eux
Qui marchent comme çà
Gauche gauche gauche droite gauche
Pour couler l’adversaire
Ils connaissent leur affaire
Faut pas faire son finfin
Devant nos marins
Ces gars là n’ont jamais peur de rien
-2-
Dans leur petite corvette
J’vous assure qu’on les guette
Mais nos marins s’en fichent bien
On ne peut les effrayer
Ni les intimider
Ila sont osés et l’ennemi l’sait bien

On the sea and on land
These guys go to war
Even in submarines
All these good pals
In all the parades
Make us proud to be Canadians
Refrain:
One must not pretend to be clever
When facing our sailors
These guys are afraid of nothing
Attention here they are, look
There are none like they
Walking in that way
Left left left right left
To sink the enemy
They know their business
One must know pretend to be cleaver
When facing our sailors
These guys are afraid of nothing
- 2 -
In their little corvette
I assure you they are being worked
But our sailors don’t give a hoot
One can’t frighten them
Nor intimidate them
They are daring and the enemy knows it
On the sea and on land
These guys go to war
Even in submarines
All these good pals
In all the parades
Make us proud to be Canadians
Refrain:
One must not pretend to be clever
When facing our sailors
These guys are afraid of nothing
Attention here they are, look
There are none like they
Walking in that way
Left left left right left
To sink the enemy
They know their business
One must know pretend to be cleaver
When facing our sailors
These guys are afraid of nothing

In their little corvette
I assure you they are being worked
But our sailors don’t give a hoot
One can’t frighten them
Nor intimidate them
They are daring and the enemy knows it
