Bless em all, bless em all; the long and the short and the tall,
Bless all the sergeants and double-u o ones,
Bless all the corp'rals and their blink-in sons,
Cos we're saying good-bye to them all
As back to their billets they crawl,
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean,
So cheer up,
my lads,
Bless 'em all!
Nobody knows what a twirp you've been,
So cheer up, my lads,
Bless 'em all!

Suprised this being a fruit machine board that this has not been mentioned
"Oranges and lemons" say the bells of St. Clement's
"You owe me five farthings" say the bells of St. Martin's
"When will you pay me?" say the bells of Old Bailey
"When I grow rich" say the bells of Shoreditch
"When will that be?" say the bells of Stepney
"I do not know" say the great bells of Bow
"Here comes a candle to light you to bed
Here comes a chopper to chop off your head
Chip chop chip chop - the last man's dead."

is this from a play? i saw it many years ago but can't remember the name,
it was about a japanese POW. i have a vivid memory of one of the most harrowing songs i've seen on stage. (to the tune of my bonny lies over the ocean):
" a handsome young private laid dying
at the edge of the jungle he lay
the regiment gavvered around him
to hear for the last words he'd say:
take the magazine out of my kidneys
take the trigger-guard out of my brain
take the bullets from out of my backbone
and assemble my rifle again "
any ideas?

nobody ever wins on those things.
