The chorus from the apple tree (still a soldier)
He takes his crossword to the window in the sun (because)
hes not afraid to still have a little fun (he?ll)
wake up a tea cup with a cheeky drop of rum (because)
hes not afraid to still have a little fun
he fills the day with documentaries
he turns in early for the early morning chorus from the apple tree
he gets up early for the early morning chorus from the apple tree
when mister blackbird sings
hes still a soldier at heart
hes still the young pup drinkin mad dog after dark
hes still a soldier at heart
he just likes to put his feet up and he likes to feed the mallards in the park
still a soldier at heart (still a soldier)
still a soldier at heart (still a soldier)
still a soldier at heart (still a soldier)
still a soldier just a soldier with no battles left to start
hes got his own stool down the local water hole (you know it)
used to be moes but moes not with us anymore (he)
drinks a gill and dons his specs to check his bets (he)
keeps his distance from the kid with no respect
the street lamps tell him when it?s time to leave
he turns in early for the early morning chorus from the apple tree
he gets up early for the early morning chorus from the apple tree
when mister blackbird sings
hes still a soldier at heart
hes still the young pup drinking mad dog after dark
hes still a soldier at heart
he just likes to put his feet up and he likes to feed the mallards in the park
still a soldier at heart (still a soldier)
still a soldier at heart (still a soldier)
still a soldier at heart (still a soldier)
still a soldier just a soldier with no battles left to start
he hears the ghost of the kid he used to be
hes shooting off his big mouth and he?s stamping his feet
he hears the ghost of the kid he used to be
hes walking home to the early morning chorus from the apple tree
hes just getting in to the early morning chorus from the apple tree
still a soldier at heart
still a soldier at heart
still a soldier at heart
still a soldier at heart
when mister blackbird sings
