Soldier's Things

Davenports and kettle drums And swallow tail coats Table cloths and patent leather shoes Bathing suits and bowling balls And clarinets and rings And all this radio really needs is a fuse A tinker, a tailor A soldier's things His rifle, his boots full of rocks And this one is for bravery And this one for me And everything 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 tie and boxing gloves This jackknife is rusted You can pound that dent out On the hood
