Full Lyrics Text:

Bless and keep thy Royal Court
shouldered on our bony back.
Break our legs from our support.

Strike with fear the heart of man.
Drive us ducklings to the dock.
Brand us with thine iron hand.

Clamp thy head around thy brood.
Shear thy sheep and trim our mane.
Thou art our law. We are thy food.
