Bless Em All The Long and The Short and The Tall Chords
George Formby, Jr 1940 (Fred Godfrey 1917)
Capo I*
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 corprals and their blinkin sons,
Cos were 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
They say if you work hard you ll get better pay
We ve heard all that before
Clean up your buttons and polish your boots
Scrub out the barrack room floor
There s many a rookie has taken it in, hook line and sinker an all
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 corprals and their blinkin sons,
Cos were 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
Now they say that the Sergeant s a very nice chap, oh what a tale to tell.
Ask him for leave on a Saturday night and he ll pay your fare home as well.
There s many an airman has blighted his life through writing rude words on the wall
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 corprals and their blinkin sons,
Cos were 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
Nobody knows what a twerp you have been, so cheer up my lads, bless em all
