Any King's Shilling Songtext / Lyric

You're a fine one, oh yes you are

You're a fine one just like me

And we're friends now, oh wouldn't you say?

We've been friends now, oh haven't we?



Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you

I can't say more it would be telling

For if you don't what will become of you

Just isn't worth any king's shilling



I will answer when they make that call

Pull upon this ragged uniform

Until now I know it's been your trade

Spit and polish the potato parade






Stay at home tonight if you know what's good for you

I can't say more it would be telling

For if you don't what will become of you

Just isn't worth any king's shilling



Please don't put your silly head in that British soldier's hat

You've done your duty that's enough of that



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

I don't 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 what's good for you

I can't say more it would be telling

For if you don't what will become of you

Just isn't worth any king's shilling



Please don't put your silly head in that British soldier's hat

You've done your duty that's enough of that



You're a fine one, oh yes you are

You're a fine one, just like me
