Soldier's Things Lyrics

Davenports and kettle drums
And swallow tail coats
Table cloths and patent leather shoesBathing suits and bowling balls
And clarinets and rings
And all this radio really needs is a fuseA tinker, a tailor
A soldier's things
His rifle, his boots, full of rocksAnd this one is for bravery
And this one for me
And everything a dollar in this boxCuff links and hub caps
Trophies and paperbacks
It's good transportation
But the brakes aren't so hotNeck tie and boxing gloves
This jackknife is rusted
You can pound that dent out
On the hoodA tinker, a tailor
A soldier's things
His rifle, his boots, full of rocksAnd this one is for bravery
And this one for me

And everything a dollar in this boxA tinker, a tailor
A soldier's things
His rifle, his boots, full of rocksAnd this one is for bravery
And this one for me
And everything a dollar in this box
