Sgt. Bean

Sgt. Bean Lyrics

At the station they all called him Sgt. Bean
But at our house he was just plain dad to me
My mother’s biggest fan
A strong and steady man
And we got by on his philosophy
We’re not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
We’re not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
40 years of service, he was tough
But we’d sing “wind beneath my wings”
and he’d tear up
I’ve got a million memories,
mum on the ukelaylee
And the perfect harmony, the 3 of us singing
We’re not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
We’re not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
There’s days I can’t believe he’s really gone
When I run out of reasons to be strong
That’s when I swear I hear his voice in my ear
Saying “Lulu dry your tears, life goes on”
We’re not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
We’re not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
We’ll always be together
