[Arthur] 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? [Aristocrats] 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 [Arthur] 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? [Aristocrats] 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 [Arthur] 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?
