Any King's Shilling

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 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 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 --- Any King's Shilling - Elvis Costello
