Little Play Soldiers

Marty Cooper

[Verse 1]
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun
Each with his helmet and little toy gun
Pretending their lying on the 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

[Verse 2]
Quiet, don't disturb all the innocence of youth
Tell them not to lie but never tell them the truth
That men will fall and die while little boys grow
But littlе play soldiers are too busy to know

[Chorus]
Little play soldiеrs, if only you knew
What kind of battles are waiting for you

[Verse 3]
Little white crosses and their rows are so long
How will it end if you don't know it's wrong?
For little play soldiers will never know why
We love them and kiss them and send them to die

[Chorus]
Little play soldiers, if only you knew
What kind of battles are waiting for you

[Verse 4]
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun
Each with his helmet and little toy gun
Pretending their lying on the battlefield dead
After their tucked away safe in their bed
