Just isn't worth any king's shilling
Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you
Please don't put your silly head in that British soldier's hat
Until now I know it's been your trade
You're a fine one, oh yes you are
But for me it seems it means my life
I can't say more it would be telling
Pull upon this ragged uniform
Just isn't worth any king's shilling
Spit and polish the potato parade
For if you don't what will become of you
While for you it could just be a living
And we're friends now, oh wouldn't you say?
I don't know if what I'm doing is right
For if you don't what will become of you
We've been friends now, oh haven't we?
You've done your duty that's enough of that
I will answer when they make that call
Please don't put your silly head in that British soldier's hat
For if you don't what will become of you
I can't say more it would be telling
Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you
I don't know if you should be forgiving
Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you
I can't say more it would be telling
Just isn't worth any king's shilling
You've done your duty that's enough of that
