Bless 'em all, bless 'em all

the long and the

short and the tall

Bless all the sergeants

and w.o. ones

bless all the corporals

and their blinkin' sons

'Cause we're saying

goodbye to them all

as back to their

billets they crawl

You'll get no promotion

this side of the ocean

so cheer up my lads

bless 'em all

Bless 'em all, bless 'em all

the long and the

short and the tall

Bless all the sergeants

and w.o. ones

bless all the corporals

and their blinkin' sons

'Cause we're saying

goodbye to them all

as back to their

billets they crawl

You'll get no promotion

this side of the ocean

so cheer up my lads

bless 'em all

We're gonna hang out

We're gonna hang out

the washing on

Whether the weather

may be wet or fine

we'll just rub along

without a care

We're gonna hang out

the washing on

We're gonna hang out

the siegfried line

if the siegfried line's

still there

Kiss me goodnight

Sergeant major

tuck me in my

little wooden bed

We all love you

Sergeant major

when we hear you

bawling show a leg

Don't forget to wake

me in the morning

and bring me 'round

a nice hot cup of tea

Kiss me goodnight

Sergeant major

Sergeant major

be a mother to me

Kiss me goodnight

Sergeant major

tuck me in my

little wooden bed

We all love you

Sergeant major

when we hear you

bawling show a leg

Don't forget to wake

me in the morning

and bring me 'round

a nice hot cup of tea

Kiss me goodnight

Sergeant major

Sergeant major

be a mother to me...
