Any King’s Shilling

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I will answer when they make that call
Pull upon this ragged uniform
Up till now I know it's been your trade
Spit and polish the potato parade

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Please don't put your silly head in that pretty soldier's hat
You've done your duty, that's enough of that

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Please don't put your silly head in that pretty soldier's hat
You've done your duty, that's enough of that

[Outro]
You're a fine one, oh yes you are
You're a fine one, just like me
