Verse 1:
E A
Off the coast of Argentina are islands in the deep,
B E
With 1800 people and a half a million sheep.
E A
The day they were invaded everybody learned the name,
B E
A barren little colony had got a bit of fame.
Chorus:
E
We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets,
B E
We mobilised the Navy and we called up the Marines.
E
We sailed two weeks 'til we reached the Falkland Islands,
B E
So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines.
Verse 2:
E A
Maggie Thatcher was awakened in the middle of the night,

She heard the Argentinians were spoiling for a fight.
E A
She summoned up her cabinet and met with the MPs,
B E
And sent the pride of Britain to those stormy southern seas.
Chorus:
E
We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets,

Verse 3:
E A
Well, in came the Yanks, who had to have a say,
B E
So they sent Al Haig down Buenos Aires way.
E A
He shuffled to and fro, always managing a smile,
B E
The Argies still refused to leave that errant British isle.
Chorus:
E
So we stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets,

We mobilised the Navy and we called up the Marines.

Verse 4:
E A
Well, the whole world watched as the British fleet drew near,
B E
And the battle for the Falklands was finally here.
E A
We sank their ships, brought down their aeroplanes,
B E
And taught those cheeky Argies not to mess with us again.

Verse 5:
E A
All the local girls were waiting when Prince Andy disembarked,
B E
He had a reputation and he liked to have a lark.
E A
They covered him with kisses, they walked him in the grass,
B N.C.
He said he never saw a better piece of British land!
