There were ships of shapes and sizes

Scatter out along the bay

And I thought I heard her calling

As the steamer pulled away

The Invaders must have seen them

As across the coast they filed

Standing firm between them

There lay Thunder Child

Moving swiftly through the waters

Cannons blazing as she came

Brought a might metal war-lord

Crashing down in sheets of flame

Sensing victory was nearing

Thinking fortune must have smiled

People started cheering

"Come on Thunder Child"

"Come on Thunder Child"

The Martians released their black smoke, but the ship sped on,

Cutting down one of the tripod figures

Instantly, the others raised their Heat Rays

And melted the Thunder Child's valiant heart"
