Oh sergeant, dear Sergeant
Tell me if you can
Who is this someone else
Is it some kinda other man?
You’re gonna have to tell me
Who’s that man?
Sergeant, sergeant
You’re gonna have to tell me

Good friend John says he’s gone
And he’s never gonna come back
Says he’s somebody else now
Don’t know who
But he’s on the right track

Sergeant, sergeant

My frien Joe with the turned up toe
He was talking to my dear friend Reg
Not giving nothing
But caught them a rucking
The conversation
Never heard a word that was said, I said
