‘ E was warned agin’‘ er —
That's what made‘ im look;
She was warned agin’‘ im —
That is why she took.
Would n'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!
Gray 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 need n't ask!
Made‘ is forty gallon
Out of every cask!
Watch‘ im, with‘ is‘ air cut,
Count us filin’ by —
Wo n'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” —
Ai n'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 —
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.
