Sergeant Where's Mine (Billy Connolly) Chorus: Oh sergeant, was this the adventure you meant When I put my name down on the line All your talk of computers, of sunshine and skis I'm asking you, sergeant, where's mine I'm lying in bed, I'm in room twenty-six Thinking of things that I've done Like cleaning my boots and drinking with friends And counting the medals of one I've a brother in Glasgow with long curly hair When I joined up he said I was mad He said shooting at strangers just wasn't his game Now I wish I had done what he said I've learnt to put up with most things in my time I can even put up with the pain But what can you do with a gun in your hand When you're facing a hundred young weans The pipe tune Eddie suggested would in fact fit apart from the last line of each verse, which doesn't have enough syllables.
