The Official Royal Navy Songbook

[Fr O'Blivien]

I have lost my copy of this wonderful little book - was it compiled by Rick Jolly?

Is it still available? Any leads to a copy would be much appreciated.

The Nuns probably nicked it.
It is/was published by the Fleet Air Arm Officer's Association who are on 0207-930-7722 (UK). Rick Jolly did the other great one, Guide to Pusser's English or something.

Ed to add: The one you want is called "The Fleet Air Arm Song Book"

Hmmm, Royal Navy Songbook....
Does it include the unabridged version of "YMCA" and the real lyrics to "In the Navy" by the not-at-all gay Village People?
And how about the original words to Relax by that ever-so-butch group of testosterone over-dosed blokes "Frankie Goes To Portsmouth"?

Sorry, can't help. But if you need a good laugh get hold of a copy of "Laugh with the RAF". Available at all good nautical book shops.Well most of the souvenir shops in Pompy. When you open it up you will see what I mean.
