Kiss Me Good-Night, Sergeant-Major lyrics

Kiss me good-night, 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 good-night, Sergeant-Major

Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me!

Private Jones came in one night

Full of cheer and very bright

He'd been out all day upon the spree

He bumped into Sergeant Smeck

And put his arms around his neck

And in his ear he whispered tenderly...

"Kiss me good-night, Sergeant-Major

???"

Kiss me good-night, 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 good-night, Sergeant-Major

Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me!
