You're a fine oneoh yes you are

You're a fine one just like me

And we're friends nowoh wouldn't you say? 

We've been friends nowoh 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 callpull upon this ragged uniform

Up 'til 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 pretty soldier's hat

You've done your dutythat'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 oneoh yes you are

You're a fine onejust like me
