Little Soldier Boy

[Verse 1] Little wooden soldier boy How he's bored to be a toy Sitting on the mantelpiece Was not his idea of peace So one night at half past one He ordered all the toys to come He told them all a good game to play Next day [Verse 2] The teddy bears and wind-up toys Together made a lot of noise The other side formed into ranks Proud 'cause they had plastic tanks High up on the shelf to see The soldier had to jump with glee At last before his eyes he saw A real war [Verse 3] With a battle raging on the floor The soldier boy was urging more Soon the floor was strewn with bits Fur and stuff and building kits The soldier boy was feeling high As smoke clouds rolled across the sky He gave a last triumphant cry And fell into the fire
