Show some respect

On this deck for the dear departed

Gather ye's round let's be bound

By the work we started

Save all your strength

For the length of the task before us

Think on that ship on the slip

Way they can't ignore us

It's what he would have wanted

He'll not be disappointed

Each of us well appointed

We've all but been anointed

Such was our occupation

This means of our salvation

We'll make a rope out of our dreams

And hopes and tribulations

We'll weave these strands together

We'll splice a rope and tether

And though we won't know whether

It's fair or stormy weather

We'll quit this quay

And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea

Come strike the floor with your feet

All you lads and lasses

And if you're too old to dance

You can raise your glasses

Just come on in take a spin in

Your dreams ye've held her

What are ye man or a mouse or a shipyard welder

Shy bairns get nowt for waiting

So why ye hesitating

Ships don't get built debating or launched

Just contemplating

Wear out your old shoe leather

We're in this dance together

We'll pull the blades and feather in fair or

Clement weather

Each one of us connected all trades

And skills respected

Always to be expected

We will not be deflected

We'll quit this quay

And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea

Life is a dance a romance

Where ye take your chances

Just don't be left on the shores

Of regretful glances

Show some respect

Fill the deck get the lassies twirling

'Cos they expect to be swept off

Their feet and whirling

Life is a dance a romance

Where ye take your chances

Just don't be left on the shores

Of regretful glances

We may not drive rolls royces

We're hardly spoilt for choices

If we're to pay invoices

We'll need to raise our voices

Our strength is in communion

This boiler makers' union

The ship wright welders' guilds

With every working station filled

These bonds we've spliced together

Will face all kinds of weather

Considered all together

And sailing hell for leather

We'll quit this quay

And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea

Where will you be

When we cast this net of souls upon the sea

Where will you be

When we cast this net of souls upon the sea

Show some respect

On this deck for the dear departed

Gather ye's round let's be bound

Upon the sea
