Bless 'Em All (保佑他们) - George Formby/Alan Breeze

They say there's a troopship just leaving bombay

Bound for old blighty shore

Heavily laden with time expired men

Bound for the land they adore

There's many an airman just finishing his time

There's many a twerp signing on

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 corp'rals 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

They say if you work hard you'll get better pay haha

We've heard all that before

Clean up your buttons and polish your boots

Scrub out the barrack room floor

There's many a rookie has taken it in

Hook line and sinker and all

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 corp'rals 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

Now they say that the sergeant's a very nice chap hehe

Oh what a tale to tell

Ask him for leave on a saturday night

And he'll pay your fare home as well

There's many an airman has blighted his life

Through writing rude words on the wall

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 corp'rals 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

Nobody knows what a twerp you have been

So cheer up my lads bless 'em all
