`E was warned agin `er--
That`s what made `im look;
She was warned agin `im--
That is why she took.
`Wouldn`t `ear no reason,
`Went an` done it blind;
We know all about `em,
They`ve got all to find!
Cheer for the Sergeant`s weddin`--
Give `em one cheer more!
Cray gun-`orses in the lando,
An` a rogue is married to, etc.
What`s the use o` tellin`
`Arf the lot she`s been?
`E`s a bloomin` robber,
An` `e keeps canteen.
`Ow did `e get `is buggy?
Gawd, you needn`t ask!
Made `is forty gallon
Out of every cask!
Watch `im, with `is `air cut,
Count us filin` by--
Won`t the Colonel praise `is
Pop--u--lar---i--ty!
We `ave scores to settle--
Scores for more than beer;
She`s the girl to pay `em--
That is why we`re `ere!
See the chaplain thinkin`?
See the women smile?
Twig the married winkin`
As they take the aisle?
Keep your side-arms quiet,
Dressin` by the Band.
Ho! You `oly beggars,
Cough be`ind your `and!
Now it`s done an` over,
`Ear the organ squeak,
"Voice that breathed o`er Eden"--
Ain`t she got the cheek!
White an` laylock ribbons,
Think yourself so fine!
I`d pray Gawd to take yer
`Fore I made yer mine!
Escort to the kerridge,
Wish `im luck, the brute!
Chuck the slippers after--
[Pity `taint a boot!]
Bowin` like a lady,
Blushin` like a lad--
`Oo would say to see `em--
Both are rotten bad!
Cheer for the Sergeant`s weddin`-
Give `em one cheer more!
Gray gun-`orses in the lando,
An` a rogue is married to, etc.
