Our Sergeant major jumped from 60 000 feet,

These days we have many interesting options -
sent off in a fireworks display
made into a diamond
ever considered what you would like to happen to you?

Ashes to to ashes
dust to dust -Our Sergeant major jumped from 60 000 feet,
Our Sergeant major jumped from 60 000 feet,
Our Sergeant major jumped from 60 000 feet,
But he ain't gonna jump no more

Glory, glory what a terrible way to die,
Glory glory, what a terrible way to die
Glory glory, what a terrible way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

He jumped without a parachute from sixty thousand feet,
He jumped without a parachute from sixty thousand feet,
He jumped without a parachute from sixty thousand feet,
And he ain't gonna jump no more

He landed on the runway like a lump of strawberry jam,
He landed on the runway like a lump of strawberry jam,
He landed on the runway like a lump of strawberry jam ,
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

They scraped him off the tarmac with a knife and fork and spoon,
They scraped him off the tarmac with a knife and fork and spoon,
They scraped him off the tarmac with a knife and fork and spoon,
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

They wrapped him up in bubblegum and sent him home to Mum
They wrapped him up in bubblegum and sent him home to Mum
They wrapped him up in bubblegum and sent him home to Mum
And he ain't gonna jump no more...

She put him on the mantelpiece everyone to see
She put him on the mantelpiece everyone to see
She put him on the mantelpiece everyone to see
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

She served him up with crumpets when the Vicar came to tea
She served him up with crumpets when the Vicar came to tea
She served him up with crumpets when the Vicar came to tea
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

Glory, glory what a terrible way to die,
Glory glory, what a terrible way to die
Glory glory, what a terrible way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more
