<h2> The Sergeant's Weddin' </h2>
<p>'E was warned agin' 'er—<br/>
That's what made 'im look;<br/>
She was warned agin' 'im—<br/>
That is why she took.<br/>
'Wouldn't 'ear no reason,<br/>
'Went an' done it blind;<br/>
We know all about 'em,<br/>
They've got all to find!<br/>
<br/>
Cheer for the Sergeant's weddin'—<br/>
Give 'em one cheer more!<br/>
Grey gun-'orses in the lando,<br/>
An' a rogue is married to, etc.<br/>
<br/>
What's the use o' tellin'<br/>
'Arf the lot she's been?<br/>
'E's a bloomin' robber,<br/>
An' 'e keeps canteen.<br/>
'Ow did 'e get 'is buggy?<br/>
Gawd, you needn't ask!<br/>
'Made 'is forty gallon<br/>
Out of every cask!<br/>
<br/>
Watch 'im, with 'is 'air cut,<br/>
Count us filin' by—<br/>
Won't the Colonel praise 'is<br/>
Pop—u—lar—i—ty!<br/>
We 'ave scores to settle—<br/>
Scores for more than beer;<br/>
She's the girl to pay 'em—<br/>
That is why we're 'ere!<br/>
<br/>
See the chaplain thinkin'?<br/>
See the women smile?<br/>
Twig the married winkin'<br/>
As they take the aisle?<br/>
Keep your side-arms quiet,<br/>
Dressin' by the Band.<br/>
Ho! You 'oly beggars,<br/>
Cough be'ind your 'and!<br/>
<br/>
Now it's done an' over,<br/>
'Ear the organ squeak,<br/>
“'Voice that breathed o'er Eden”—<br/>
Ain't she got the cheek!<br/>
White an' laylock ribbons,<br/>
Think yourself so fine!<br/>
I'd pray Gawd to take yer<br/>
'Fore I made yer mine!<br/>
<br/>
Escort to the kerridge,<br/>
Wish 'im luck, the brute!<br/>
Chuck the slippers after—<br/>
(Pity 'tain't a boot!)<br/>
Bowin' like a lady,<br/>
Blushin' like a lad—<br/>
'Oo would say to see 'em<br/>
Both is rotten bad?<br/>
<br/>
Cheer for the Sergeant's weddin'—<br/>
Give 'em one cheer more!<br/>
Grey gun-'orses in the lando,<br/>
An' a rogue is married to, etc.<br/></p>
