(Martin Cooper)
|
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun, each with his helmet and little toy gun,
|
Pretending their lying on some battlefield dead after their tucked away safe in their bed.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Little play soldiers if only you knew what kind of battles are waiting for you.
|
|
Quiet, don't disturb all that innocence of youth. Tell them not to lie but never tell them the truth
|
That men will fall down while little boys grow but little play soldiers are too busy to know.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Little white crosses and their rows are so long. How will it end if you don't know it's wrong?
|
Little play soldiers never know why, you love them and kiss them and then send them to die.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun, each with his helmet and little toy gun,
|
Soon they will lie on some battlefield dead 'stead of tucked away safe in their bed.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
All you little soldiers, if only you knew, what kind of battles are waiting for you.
