Any Kings Shilling

Youre a fine one, oh yes you are
Youre a fine one just like me
And were friends now, oh wouldnt you say?
Weve been friends now, oh havent we?
Stay at home tonight if you know whats good for you
I cant say more it would be telling
For if you dont what will become of you
Just isnt worth any kings shilling
I will answer when they make that call, pull upon this ragged uniform
Up til now I know its been your trade
Spit and polish the potato parade
Stay at home tonight if you know whats good for you
I cant say more it would be telling
For if you dont what will become of you
Just isnt worth any kings shilling
Please dont put your silly head in that pretty soldiers hat
Youve done your duty, thats enough of that
I dont know if what Im doing is right
I dont know if you should be forgiving
But for me it seems it means my life
While for you it could just be a living
Stay at home tonight if you know whats good for you
I cant say more it would be telling
For if you dont what will become of you
Just isnt worth any kings shilling
Please dont put your silly head in that british soldiers hat
Youve done your duty thats enough of that
Youre a fine one, oh yes you are
Youre a fine one, just like me
