And what about the ultimate con man song? "Soldier, Soldier, won't you marry me?"
He gets her to get him a full rig out of clothes, from her grandfathers chest no less (could be antique stuff, worth a bob or two, on the other hand could be a load of old tat that even a rag and bone man might refuse, but who's to know?)
AND THEN................. once he's kitted out, casually mentions that no, he can't marry her, because, guess what, there's an Army wife living in some married quarters somewhere waiting for the conniving git to come home!
