Oscar Brand - Bless 'Em All
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
The long and the short and the tall
There'll be no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads, bless 'em all!
Well we sent for the Army to come to Tulagi, but General MacArthur said no
I'll tell you the reason, this isn't the season
Besides you've got no USO!
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
The long and the short and the tall
There'll be no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads, bless 'em all!
Well we sent for the Navy to come to Tulagi, but dear little Navy agreed
In ten-thousand sections from eighteen directions
Oh Lord, what a screwed up stampede!
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
The long and the short and the tall
There'll be no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads, bless 'em all!
Then we sent for the Air Force to come to Tulagi, the Air Force appeared on the scenes
And they bombed out two donkeys, five horses, three monkeys
And seven platoons of girees!
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
The long and the short and the tall
There'll be no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads, bless 'em all!
Then we sent for the Coast Guard to come to Tulagi, and waited for them to appear
They sent back a letter, "We like it here better
But maybe we'll make it next year!"
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
The long and the short and the tall
There'll be no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads, bless 'em all!
Then we sent for the nurses to come to Tulagi, the nurses they made it with ease
Their arse on the table, each bearing this label
"Reserved for the Officers please!"
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
Bless 'em all (Bless 'em all)
The long and the short and the tall
Bless all the Sergeants and Corporals too
Bless all the Privates and above all, bless you!
'Cause we're saying goodbye to them all
As back to our foxholes we'll crawl
There'll be no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads, bless 'em all!
