he stands fifteen inches tall.
He is all alone, waiting for more...
he can't fight with one soldier.

Better to wait, near the shore
for at least a hundred more,
to march to my door.

He is ready with musket in hand,
boots shined, and uniform fine.
For this day he is ready to ROLL.

Success is in sight,
Now I'm ready for bed,
Goodnight Goodnight.

I have a wooden soldier
he stands fifteen inches tall.
He is all alone, waiting for more...
he can't fight with one soldier.

Better to wait, near the shore
for at least a hundred more,
to march to my door.

He is ready with musket in hand,
boots shined, and uniform fine.
For this day he is ready to ROLL.

Success is in sight,
Now I'm ready for bed,
Goodnight Goodnight.
