First Line: The flags must fly - the band must play
Last Line: "your white gloves -- on -- today!"
Subject(s): Courage; Soldiers; Valor; Bravery
"The flags must fly -- the band must play --
You, men -- your white gloves on!"
The gallant captain's order ...
The ship went down -- at dawn!
Now when disaster hovers near --
Unto myself I say:
"Courage, faint Heart, the flags must fly --
Your white gloves -- on -- today!"
