가사

Oh, sergeant, I'm a draftee, and I've just arrived in camp
I've come to wear the uniform and join the martial tramp
And I want to do my duty, but one thing I do implore
You must give me lessons, sergeant, for I've never killed before
To do my job obediently is all that I desire
To learn my weapon thoroughly and how to aim and fire
To learn to kill the enemy and then to slaughter more
I'll need instruction, sergeant, for I've never killed before
Now, there are rumors in camp about our enemy
They say that when you see him, he looks just like you and me
But you deny it, sergeant, and you are a man of war
So you must give me lessons, for I've never killed before
Now, there are several lessons that I haven't mastered yet
I haven't got the hang of how to use the bayonet
If he doesn't die at once, am I to stick him with it more?
Oh, I hope you will be patient, for I've never killed before
And the hand grenade is something that I just don't understand
You've got to throw it quickly or you're apt to lose your hand
Does it blow a man to pieces with it's wicked, muffled roar?
Oh, I've got so much to learn because I've never killed before
Well, I want to thank you, sergeant, for the help you've been to me
You've taught me how to slaughter and to hate the enemy
And I know that I'll be ready when they march me off to war
And I know that it won't matter that I've never killed before
I know that it won't matter that I've never killed before
