Colour Sergeant Lilywhite

[Verse 1]
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, coming home on leave
Little children run to him tugging on his sleeve
Missus Lilywhite waits at the gate looking so forlorn
'Cause the cash gets shorter and she's got six daughters
And she's always lifting married quarters

[Verse 2]
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, serves his country well
Get's his border loggings free, plus a taste of hell
Thinking about the time Wilma put him on the shelf
With some apprehension, signing for his pension
He'll still be standing to attention

[Bridge]
Whеn he goes to bed, his kids arе waiting just to talk to him
Soon he'll go home so he must falter time to tuck them in

[Verse 3]
He's been posted overseas but his wife must stay behind
As the end draws near of his long career
He doesn't know made him volunteer

[Verse 4]
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, marching off to war
Little children wonder if they'll see him anymore
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, marching off to war
Little children wonder if they'll see him anymore

[Outro]
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, Colour Sergeant Lilywhite
Oooh, oooh

Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, Colour Sergeant Lilywhite
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, Colour Sergeant Lilywhite
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, Colour Sergeant Lilywhite
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, Colour Sergeant Lilywhite

Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, Colour Sergeant Lilywhite
Colour Sergeant Lilywhite, Colour Sergeant Lilywhite
