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

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 an '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

'Cos 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 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
