OUR SERGEANT MAJOR - GEORGE FORMBY
______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________
GNow theres a sergeant major, Denjoys life when he Gcan 
He Emproves to all the ladies, hes a soldier and a Dman 
GHe sticks out his chest, two Ampillows in his vest
A Ambolster under his rotunda, Dour sergeant Gmajor 
GHis medals break our hearts, he Amwon them playing darts 
And Dwhile competing, D7who was cheating, Dour sergeant Gmajor 
Hes Bmfar away the worst friend we've ever had
AmWhen hes far away, well, Dwe're mighty glad 
GIn the canteen bar, you kAmnow what sergeants are 
DWhen we've passed out, D7whos the last out, Dour sergeant Gmajor 
GHes got a raucous voice, his Amlanguage isnt choice
DIn clink wed shove him, D7how we love him, Dour sergeant Gmajor 
GHis weight about hell throw, the Amwicked so and so 
DWho'd even smother, D7his own mother, Dour sergeant Gmajor 
Hes Bmfar away the worst friend we've ever had
AmWhen hes far away, well, Dwe're mighty glad 
GOur bugler goes his rounds, and Amwhen the bugle sounds
DFor everlasting, D7whos he blasting, Dour sergeant Gmajor 
Insert crazy solo here if you wish :)
GNow he makes raw recruits, just Amtremble in their boots 
DCalls them slackers, D7whos gone crackers, Dour sergeant mGajor 
GHis feet fill up the road, knock-Amkneed and pigeon toed 
We'd Dsooner shoot him D7than salute him, Dour sergeant Gmajor
Hes Bmfar away the worst friend we've ever had
AmWhen hes far away, well, Dwe're mighty glad 
GThe mascot goat we own, so Ambig and fat has grown 
DWild and warlike, D7hes far more like, Dour sergeant Gmajor !
