Davenports and kettle drums, And swallow tail coats, Table cloths and patent leather shoes, Bathing suits and bowling balls And clarinets and rings, And all this radio really Needs is a fuse, A tinker, a tailor, A soldier's things, His rifle, his boots full of rocks, And this one is for bravery, And this one is for me, And everything's a dollar In this box.

Cuff links and hub caps, Trophies and paperbacks, It's good transportation, But the brakes aren't so hot, Neck tie and boxing gloves, This jackknife is rusted, You can pound that dent out, On the hood A tinker, a tailor, A soldier's things, His rifle, his boots full of rocks, Oh and this one is for bravery, And this one is for me, And everything's a dollar In this box.
