Yes Sir, no Sir 
Where do I go Sir 
What do I do Sir 
What do I say 


Yes Sir, no Sir 
Where do I go Sir 
What do I do Sir 
How do I behave 


Yes Sir, no Sir 
Permission to speak Sir 
Permission to breathe Sir 
What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say 


So you think that you've got ambition 
Stop your dreaming and your idle wishing 
You're outside and there ain't no admission 
To our play 
Pack up your ambition in your old kit bag 
Soon you'll be happy with a packet of fags 
Chest out stomach in 
Do what I say, do what I say 
Yes right away 


Yes Sir, no Sir 
Where do I go Sir 
What do I do Sir 
What do I say 


Yes Sir, no Sir 
Permission to speak Sir 
Permission to breathe Sir 
What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say 


Doesn't matter who you are 
You're there and there you are 
Everything Is in its place 
Authority must be maintained 
And then we know exactly where we are 
Let them feel that they're important to the cause 
But let them know that they are fighting for their homes 
Just be sure that they're contributing their all 
Give the scum a gun and make the bugger fight 
And be sure to have deserters shot on sight 
If he dies we'll send a medal to his wife 


Yes Sir, no Sir 
Please let me die Sir 
I think this life is affecting my brain 
Yes Sir, no Sir 
Three bags full Sir 
What do I do Sir, what do I say 
What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say
