Lyrics Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor (2002 Stereo Mix) - The 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
