Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor,
|
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
|
Doctor, baker, fine shoe-maker,
|
Wise man, madman, taxman, please,
|
How can I know just what to be?
|
Please stop and give advice to me.
|
Tell me,
|
Tell me,
|
How many people do I help,
|
Just by sitting on the shelf,
|
Tell me,
|
Tell me,
|
I don't want a trade at all,
|
[It's for to?] living off the road.
|
Ooooh,
|
|
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor,
|
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
|
Doctor, baker, fine shoe-maker,
|
Wise man, madman, taxman, please.
|
Who's gonna tell me what to do?
|
Then they will say that I am true.
|
Maybe,
|
Maybe,
|
Perhaps I'll come to a great success,
|
Or possible a dreadful mess.
|
Maybe,
|
Maybe,
|
[Having buys its?] fortune, fame,
|
Living's just a little game.
|
Woooo-aaah,
|
|
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor,
|
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
|
Doctor, baker, fine shoe-maker,
|
Wise man, madman, taxman, please.
|
How can I know just what to be,

Please stop and give advice to me,
|
Tell me,

Tell me,

How many people do I help,

|
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor,
|
... to fade
