One Each a Piece All Round - Stanley Holloway

Written by：Stanley Holloway

Number two four six eight

Private Samuel small

Were up before his captain

To explain away a brawl

The captain said now state your case

But please he be short and brief

Tell everything that happened

To the best of your belief

Well now said Sam it's like this saying

Me and some other chaps

Had a little celebration

And a drink or two perhaps

It happened to be me birthday

And on counting out I found

I'd got enough out of me pay

To have only apiece all round

We drank them up no heeltaps

And then the same again

Here's a health unto his majesty

We sang long may he reign

With chorus after chorus

We made the walls resound

And then to keep things going

We had one each apiece all round

It were nearly time for lights out

And getting rather late

We had no money left for drinks

So we put them on the slate

Suddenly out went the lights

Without the slightest warning

We all trooped out but not without

A bottle for the morning

Across the barrack square we went

As bold as any gentry

It was a lark when in the dark

We come across a sentry

Alt who goes there the sentry cried

We firmly stood our ground

It's only Sam I cried and we've had

One each apiece all round

We've been drinking drinking

We got into the barrack room and started to undress

Just then the sergeant came along

Straight from the sergeants mess

We shut the door sat on the floor

We never made a sound

And to finish off me birthday

We had one each apiece all round

Well private small said captain

I shall have to punish thee

For this grave misdemean our

You will get ten days CB

Ten days CB said Samuel

That's heavy I'll be bound

Said captain split among your pals

It's one each apiece all round
