Medley: Bless ’Em All / (We’re Gonna Hang Out) The Washing on the Siegfried Line / Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major Songtext
von Vera Lynn

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

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


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 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 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
