I think that is one of the versions, I have heard, the other version uses "F" instead of bless. I am pretty sure what the correct version is the clean one but I think the one with the "F" word may have been used by by the soldier referring to the female acquaintances them met over seas.
Bless 'em all, bless 'em all
The long and the short and the tall
Bless all the sergeants and W.O. Ones
Bless all the corp'rals and their blinking sons
For we're saying good-bye to them all
As back to their billets they crawl
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads Bless 'em all,
===========================
THEY SAY THERE'S AN AIRSHIP
JUST LEAVING NEW YORK
BOUND FOR THE PERSIAN GULF
HEAVENLY LADEN, WITH SOLDIERS GALORE
FLYING THE FLAG THEY ADORE
THERE'S MANY A GAL
AND HER NAME COULD BE SAL
SHINING UP BUTTONS SO BRIGHT
YOU'LL GET NO PROMOTION
THIS SIDE OF THE OCEAN
SO CHEER UP MY FRIENDS
BLESS EM ALL
Talk ALL TOGETHER NOW with male and female singers
(chorus)
BLESS EM BLESS EM ALL
THE LONG AND THE
SHORT AND THE TALL
BLESS ALL THE SERGEANTS
THE SOUR PUSSED ONES
BLESS ALL THE CORPORALS
AND THE GALS WITH THE BUNS
AND WERE SAYING
GOOD BYE TO THEM ALL
AS UP TO THE CASTLE WE CRAWL
THERE’S SAND IN MY EYEBALLS
BUT THE ARMY HAS CUTE DOLLS
SO CHEER UP MY FRIENDS BLESS EM ALL
THEY SAY THAT IN IRAQ ( or Baghdad) YOU'LL HAVE A GREAT TIME WE'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
FIVE IN THE MORNING
WE FALL OFF OUR BUNKS
TO SCRUB OUT THE CASTLE ROOM FLOOR
A PRIVATE HAS REALLY NO PRIVACY NOW
WE'RE ALL BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL
WE'RE STUCK HERE IN BAGHDAD THE HUMMERS A BUMMER
SO CHEER UP MY FRIENDS BLESS THEM ALL
(CHORUS REPEAT FROM ABOVE)
BLESS ALL THE BLONDIES
AND ALL THE BRUNETTES
AN AIRMAN IS HAPPY
WHATEVER EVER HE GETS
SO WE'RE GIVING THE EYE TO THEM ALL
BLESS THE MARINES ON THE CRAWL
IF IT'S MARGIE OR MILLIE
OR EVEN BIG WILLIE
(slow down)
WHEN YOU'RE IN CAMP
BLESS EM ALL
(Chorus repeat): English accent ALL TOGETHER
Thank you,
Norm Pringle
