Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor Lyrics - Yardbirds

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 

There's to living off the road 

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 it's fortune, fame 

Living's just a little game 

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 a shelf 

Tell me 

Tell me 

I don't want a trade at all 

There's to living off the road 

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor 

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief 

Doctor, baker, fine shoe-maker 

Wise man, madman, taxman, please 

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor 

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief 

Doctor, baker, fine shoe-maker 

Wise man, madman, taxman, please
