| Little Soldier Boy |
| (Keith Relf / Jim McCarty / Jimmy Page) |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
