Bless 'Em All

Bless 'Em All - George Formby

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

Bless 'em all bless 'em all

The long and the short and the tall

But 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

But 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

But 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
