Singalong version of “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.” Lyrics by D.A. Esrom. Music by Arthur Sullivan. This song was originally published in 1917 and is in the public domain. We created a new recording for this video.

Many different versions of the lyrics have been sung over the years.

Lyrics sung here:

Hail, hail, the gang’s all here.
Never mind the weather.
Here we are together.

Hail, hail, the gang’s all here.
Sure we’re glad that you’re here, too!

The tune is part of a song called “With Cat-Like Tread” from the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera “The Pirates of Penzance.” W. S. Gilbert’s original lyrics set by Sullivan are:

Come, friends, who plough the sea.
Truce to navigation,
Take another station.
Let’s vary piracy
With a little burglary.
