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.
