Lyrics

All the talk you’ve heard
Of Sergeants being terrible
I say it’s absurd
They really aren’t terrible
In fact, they’re just as nice as they can be
At least there’s one who’s very nice to me

Chorus
My Sergeant and I are buddies
It’s funny how well we mix
He lets me sleep ’til half-past five
The others get up at six
Whenever we’re out together
He lets me supply the gals
I pay for every drink that we buy
My Sergeant and I are pals

Chorus
My Sergeant and I are buddies
He sticks to me like a stamp
On Sunday when the boys go home
He lets me remain in camp
I loaned him my car last weekend
To motor around with gals
And in exchange he loaned me his tie
My Sergeant and I are pals
