Grandfather's Clock" is a song written in 1876 by Henry Clay Work, the author of "Marching Through Georgia". It is a standard of British brass bands and colliery bands, and is also popular in bluegrass music. It has also been sung by male choruses such as the Robert Shaw Chorale. The Oxford English Dictionary says the song was the origin of the term "grandfather clock" for a longcase clock.

Lyrics to The General's Fast Asleep by Vera Lynn from the The Golden Hits album - including song video, artist biography, translations and more! . You won't see any big parade There won't be any bugle played Sad to say no war today 'Cause the general's fast asleep. Soldiers bold in a mighty row They've been told they're to fight the foe Sad to say no war today 'Cause the general's fast asleep. The colonel's mad, and the major blue The captain's sad and the sergeant too Guess this war will have to keep It's enough to make an army weep. Look oh look at his curly head Time to take him away to bed Sad to say no war today 'Cause the general's fast asleep.
