Lyrics

I? Lead to the attack?
What have I got to do with fighting?
I'm a general
This is war
This isn't Sunday on the Mall
I wouldn't mind shooting at these rebels if they'd stand still
But I'm not going to chase them all over this blooming country
It's too damned big
I'll be jolly glad when the whole nasty business is over
Cheer up
We'll all be home for Christmas
It's a long time since we left
And there's a world between us and the homeland
When we left Dover
On the way over
Mother tried her best to smile
I knew that moment
Just what her woe meant
I said, "Cheerio, it's just for a while"
Cheerio, little mother of mine
Don't be weary over the sea in the homeland
Anything I am happy to do
For the King, for the country, and you
Cheerio, I will hold you again
With your dreary old little head on my shoulder
Soon the wind will blow homeward ho
So, cheerio, cheerio!
Cheerio, little mother of mine
Don't be weary over the sea in the homeland
Anything I am happy to do
For the King, for the country, and you
Cheerio, I will hold you again
With your dreary old little head on my shoulder
Soon the wind will blow homeward ho
So, cheerio, cheerio!
Cheerio, little mother of mine
Don't be weary over the sea in the homeland
Anything I am happy to do
For the King, for the country, and you
Cheerio, I will hold you again
With your dreary old little head on my shoulder
Soon the wind will blow homeward ho
So, cheerio, cheerio!
Cheerio, little mother of mine
Don't be weary over the sea in the homeland
Anything I am happy to do
For the King, for the country, and you
Cheerio, I will hold you again
With your dreary old little head on my shoulder
Soon the wind will blow homeward ho
So, cheerio, cheerio!
