Military Scene (“Lest We Forget”)
(1st time solo)
Keep the home fires burning, while your hearts are yearning
Though the lads are far away, they dream of home
There’s a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark clouds inside out, till the boys come home
(2nd time all sing)
Keep the home fires burning, while your hearts are yearning
Though the lads are far away, they dream of home
There’s a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark clouds inside out, till the boys come home
(solo or all)
Kiss me goodnight sgt. Major, tuck me in my little wooden bed
We all love you, Sgt. Major, when we hear you shouting “show a leg”
Don’t forget to wake me in the morning, bring me up a nice hot cup of tea, so
Kiss me goodnight Sgt. Major, Sgt. Major be a mother to me.
(solo or all)
Bless ‘em all. Bless ‘em all. The long and the sort and the tall
Bless all the Sergeants and the W. O. ones
Bless all the Corporals and their blinking sons
For we’re saying goodbye to them all, as back to their billets they crawl.
You’ll get no promotion beside of the ocean, so
Cheer up my lads, bless ‘em all
(Lady solo)
That certain night, the night we met,
there was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz
andA Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong,
but I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn'd and smiled at me
A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
The moon that lingered over London town;
poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love,
the whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars,
it was such a romantic affair,
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
I know ‘cause I was there,
That night in Berkley Square
(solo or all)
All the nice girls love a sailor
All the nice girls love a tar
For there's something about a sailor
(Well you know what sailors are!)
Bright and breezy, free and easy,
He's the ladies' pride and joy!
He falls in love with Kate and Jane, then he's off to sea again,
Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!
(solo or 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'll just ride along without a care
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
If that Siegfried line's still there
(solo or ladies)
On Sunday I walk out with a soldier
On Monday I’m taken by a Tar
On Tuesday I’m out with a Boy Scout
On Wednesday a Husar
On Thursday I gang out with a Scottie
On Friday the Captain of the crew
But on Saturday I’m willing if you’ll take a shilling
To make a man of any one of you.
(girl solo)
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after.
Tomorrow, when the world is free
The shepherd will tend his sheep.
The valley will bloom again.
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again.
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.
(change key)

And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again. (change key)
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow, just… you… wait… and… see.
