Introduced by the Late Principal, W.J.Davies, M.B.E.(1936)

Come swell the chorus one and all and join the ranks with me

Prosperity to the Prince's boys upstanding three times three

Dear as of old and dear as now and despite any storm

Long live for many a thousand years our Prince of Wales kingtom.

For searching Sierra Leone far and wide

No School can well be found

That sends forth truer gentlemen

Or stands on firmer ground

'Tis not alone in science lore her manly sons excel:

The cricket and the athletic grounds their tale of triumph tell

The Church , the state, the Camp and Bar with varied voice attest

That  wheresoe'er bright honour calls her sons are with the best.

As on her walls we read the names renowned in former days

With beating hearts we vow to match their daring and their praise

For who would care through time to drift with dull and drowsy face

Unworthy of his faith and name, his fathers and his race.

Though scattered far we seldom meet the friends our boyhood knew

Old joys old griefs in memory dwell toned down to sober hue

And when somewell-remembered name grows great, we glow with pride

To think that in our youthful days we struggled at his side

And when at last old age is our and manhood strength has fled

And young ambition's fire is cold and earthly hopes lie dead

We feel our boyhood's thrill  once more and think it is just life's morn

And keep a niche within our hearts for Prince of Wales Kingtom.
