The Sergeant's Weddin' Analysis

'E was warned agin' 'er --

That's what made 'im look;

She was warned agin' 'im --

That is why she took.

'Wouldn't 'ear no reason,

'Went an' done it blind;

We know all about 'em,

They've got all to find!



Cheer for the Sergeant's weddin' --

Give 'em one cheer more!

Grey gun-'orses in the lando,

An' a rogue is married to, etc.



What's the use o' tellin'

'Arf the lot she's been?

'E's a bloomin' robber,

~An'~ 'e keeps canteen.

'Ow did 'e get 'is buggy?

Gawd, you needn't ask!

'Made 'is forty gallon

Out of every cask!



Watch 'im, with 'is 'air cut,

Count us filin' by --

Won't the Colonel praise 'is

Pop -- u -- lar -- i -- ty!

We 'ave scores to settle --

Scores for more than beer;

She's the girl to pay 'em --

That is why we're 'ere!



See the chaplain thinkin'?

See the women smile?

Twig the married winkin'

As they take the aisle?

Keep your side-arms quiet,

Dressin' by the Band.

Ho!You 'oly beggars,

Cough be'ind your 'and!



Now it's done an' over,

'Ear the organ squeak,

"~'Voice that breathed o'er Eden~" --

Ain't she got the cheek!

White an' laylock ribbons,

Think yourself so fine!

I'd pray Gawd to take yer

'Fore I made yer mine!



Escort to the kerridge,

Wish 'im luck, the brute!

Chuck the slippers after --

[Pity 'tain't a boot!]

Bowin' like a lady,

Blushin' like a lad --

'Oo would say to see 'em

Both is rotten bad?



Cheer for the Sergeant's weddin' --

Give 'em one cheer more!

Grey gun-'orses in the lando,

An' a rogue is married to, etc.
