TEN OLD SHINERS ( Chelsea Pensioners)
 
Ten Old Shiners Parading for inspection in a line,
one forgot to put his boots on and then there were Nine.
Nine Old Shiners sitting up talking very late,
one dropped off to sleep and then there were Eight.
Eight Old Shiners went on a holiday to Devon,
one said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.
Seven Old Shiners sparing with swordsticks,
one sliced his badge in halves and then there were Six.
Six Old Shiners dancing and twisting in the jive
one tied himself in knots and then there were Five.
Five Old Shiners leaving through a revolving door,
one kept going back and then there were Four.
Four Old Shiners went out on a shopping spree,
one did not get there in time and then there were Three.
Three Old Shiners catching the train at Waterloo,
one could not get his kitbag in so now there is Two.
Two Old Shiners sitting on the beach in the sun,
one got chatted up by a Dollybird and then there was One.
Just one Old Shiner left thinking what could be done,
he went and joined up again and there was none.
