You valiant old soldier Go home You sorry old bad girl Go home
‘Cause by now you’ve seen it all Just relax now and recall All your stories Forever and ever
Who will stand by you No one No brother, no cousin No one
But by now you know it all So relax now and recall All your stories Forever and ever
Oh, now goodness knows You might have done better But then heaven knows You might have done worse If you lit up The occasional candle You’re allowed the occasional curse
Oh, you are a strange one You are You’re betting on nothing You are But by now you’ve won it all So relax now and recall All your stories Forever and ever
