Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating
Mothers waiting to rearrange
Trainee worker, factory shirker
Social nurturer, won't let you down
Chairman bluster, boardroom cluster
Feather duster, your vintage crown.
Tinker, tinker, soldier, sailor,
Take a tale of soldiers, sailors,
Some may wish to change their dish
So be thankful for what you're given
And be good to your wife and dad
You look after the art of living
When you go it's a sad goodbye
Up to you if you laugh or cry
Tinker Tailor Solder Sailor
Take a tailor, sew the silver
Rich or poor, that's what it is
Some may wish to save the day
It's just a way of life, yes it is,
