Lyrics
- When you see a guy
With his head held high
Take a look at his Navy Wings
‘Neath that coat of blue
Beats a heart that’s true
To the code of those Navy Wings
And as long as he flies above the sea
In our hearts a hope still clings
May he never cease to fly in peace
On his Mighty Navy Wings - Raise your glass on high
Stand and shout Aye! Aye!
In a toast to those Navy Wings
They’re the symbol of ev’rything we love
In this land where freedom springs
Drink a toast once again to Navy Men
Cheer until the whole world rings
To the glory of the guys we love
And their Mighty Navy Wings
