FUCK 'EM ALL Oh they say there's a troopship just leaving Bombay (1) Bound for old Blighty's shore, (2) Heavily laden with time-expired men Bound for the land they adore; There's many a twat (3) just finishing his time, There's many a cunt signing on; You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean, So cheer up my lads, fuck 'em all! Fuck 'em all! Fuck 'em all! The long and the short and the tall; Fuck all the Sergeants and W.O.l.'s, (4) Fuck all the corporals and their bastard sons; (5) For we're saying goodbye to them all, As up the C.O.'s arse they crawl; (6) You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean, So cheer up my lads, fuck 'em all!	FUCK 'EM ALL They called for the army to come to Tulagi, (1) But Douglas MacArthur (2) said no; They said there's a reason, It isn't the season, Besides there's no USO. (3) Fuck 'em all! Fuck 'em all! The long, the short, the tall; Fuck all the Pelicans and Dogfaces too, (4) Fuck all the generals and above all fuck you! So we're saying goodbye to them all, As back to our foxholes we crawl; There'll be no promotion on MacArthur's blue ocean, So cheer up Gyrenes, fuck 'em all.
