You've done your duty that's enough of that
You've done your duty that's enough of that
Pull upon this ragged uniform
Just isn't worth any king's shilling

I don't know if what I'm doing is right

For if you don't what will become of you
You're a fine one, just like me

You're a fine one, oh yes you are
I can't say more it would be telling
Just isn't worth any king's shilling
For if you don't what will become of you

Just isn't worth any king's shilling
I can't say more it would be telling
Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you
Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you
But for me it seems it means my life
We've been friends now, oh haven't we?
And we're friends now, oh wouldn't you say?
Until now I know it's been your trade
While for you it could just be a living
Please don't put your silly head in that British soldier's hat
I can't say more it would be telling
I will answer when they make that call

Spit and polish the potato parade
Please don't put your silly head in that British soldier's hat
I don't know if you should be forgiving
Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you
For if you don't what will become of you
