Bilko - Hugh Cornwell

Once upon a time, there was a sergeant in the army

He was bald before it became cool

Glasses and a manner misinterpreted as barmy

Everybody labelled him a fool

Bilko‚ psycho wacko

Bilko‚ Sergeant Ernest

Bilko

Scratching round in Kansas poker was the only game

Never thought he’d see the light of day

Slamming rookies‚ shaking bookies, no two days the same

Colonel Hall was always in the way

Bilko, psycho wacko

Bilko‚ Sergeant Ernest

Bilko

Emperor, philosopher, Lucifer‚ facilitator

Paparelli, Henshaw, Doberman and Sergeant Ritzick

Take me on the thirty-minute ride

Up and down the roller-coaster, Ernie at the joystick

Laugh and laugh and laugh until you cried

Bilko, psycho wacko

Bilko, Sergeant Ernest

Bilko

Emperor, philosopher, Lucifer, facilitator
