I know a boat that sailed the mersey
the royal iris was she
in her green and yellow livery elegant was she
sailing up and down the mersey she did her best

in her magnificent livery ,mersey dances parties she did have ,looking her best in her night time party dress she even had a chippy on board for feasting was her delight
in the 70s she became a new queen painted in her new livery

Her blue bow wave and shining white livery top ,doing excursion tours on the river mersey she was at her prime her best she could be
oh it was a sad day when she retired on the mersey
sold to punters on the river themes her fate was unknown

later discoverd submerged in the themes just her bow wave above waters deep oh what a site this majestic queen has become a floating wheck to be seen her days of parties over are beloved royal iris queen
