Two little soldiers, their games are such fun, each with his helmet and little toy gun, Pretending they're lying on the battlefield dead after they're 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 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 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? For little play soldiers will never know why we love them and kiss them and send them to die.
[Chorus]
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun, each with his helmet and little toy gun, pretending they're lying on the battlefield dead After they're tucked away safe in their bed.
