Vera Lynn - 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

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
the washing on
the siegfried line
have you any dirty washing
mother dear

We're gonna hang out
the washing on
the siegfried line
'cause the washing
day is here

Whether the weather
may be wet or fine
we'll just rub along
without a care

We're gonna hang out
the washing on
the siegfried line
if the siegfried line's
still there

We're gonna hang out
the washing on
the siegfried line
have you any dirty washing
mother dear

We're gonna hang out
the washing on
the siegfried line
'cause the washing
day is here

Whether the weather
may be wet or fine
we'll just rub along
without a care

We're gonna hang out
the washing on
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...
