A Soldier's Things

Davenports and kettle drums
And swallow tail coats
Table cloths, patent leather shoes
Bathing suits and bowling balls
Clarinets and rings
All this radio really
Needs is a fuse

A tinker, a tailor
A soldier's things
His rifle, his boots full of rocks
Oh, this one's for bravery
And this one's for me
And everything's a dollar
In this box

Cuff links and hub caps
Trophies and paperbacks
It's good transportation
But the brakes aren't so hot
Neck ties and boxing gloves
This jackknife is rusted
You can pound that dent out
On the hood

A tinker, a tailor
A soldier's thing
His rifle, his boots full of rocks
Oh, this one's for bravery
And this one's for me
Everything's a dollar
In this box
