Peary, "The Discoverer".
The good ship "Roosevelt" for an Artic voyage was built
It's Mission North was Science and Research
Twa's manned by men as brave as ever crossed the wave
Who on top of Mother Earth were bound to perch.
Say's Pearry to his men we now must try again
The discoverer must be from our"Land".
On that memorable day they proudly sailed away
With brave Leiutenant Pearry in command.
This task he oft had tried, resolved to do or die
Then surrounded by his comrades good and true
The failure of the past to ocean winds he cast
More confident than ever with his crew.
The unknown North he found then in raptures gazed around
and beheld the Snow and Ice and Artic seas
He had reached the long sought goal, and discovered the North Pole
The unfurled the stars and stripes upon the breeze.
Now he's home once more other mysteries to explore
Let the honor that is due go to his name
He has bravely fought and won he's Columbia's native son
and entitled to adorn the"hall of fame."
Chorus
All Hail commander "Pearry" likewise your gallant crew
Who sailed away in grand array across the water blue
Your uncle "Sammy" told you when he bid you all goodbye
To find the"top" for on that spot the "Stars and Stripes" should fly.
