Lyrics:

Bless 'em all, bless 'em all
The long and the short and the tall
Bless all the sergeants and WO 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 WO 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
