[N] [A] Now there's a Sergeant Major, enjoys life while he can.
He proves to all the [Am] ladies he's [B] a soldier and a [E] man.
[A] He sticks out his chest, two [Bm] pillars in his vest, a [E] bolster under his rotunda.
Our Sergeant [A] Major, his medals break our hearts, he won them [Bm] playin' [E] dance.
And while competing, who was cheating?
Our Sergeant [A] Major, he's [C#m] far away the [G#] worst friend [C#m] we've ever had.
[Bm] When he's far [F#] away, well, we're mighty glad.
[E] In the [A] canteen bar, [Bm] you know what sergeants are.
[E] When we've passed out, who's the last out?
Our [A] Sergeant Major, he's got a raucous voice.
[Bm] His language isn't choice, [E] in clink we'd shove him, how we'd love him.
Our Sergeant [A] Major, his weight about he'll throw, the [Bm] wicked so-and-so.
[E] Who'd even smother his own mother?

Our [A] Sergeant Major.
