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

The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King

For the King

The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King
