Come the judgment day.
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away.

Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?

A soldier stands, and polishes a gun.

A Scottish Soldier,
Who wandered far away,
And soldiered far away

When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember

But I know how it feels to grow old

You can't say "no" to a soldier
A sailor, or a handsome marine
Oh, no, you can't say "no" if he wants to dance
If he's gonna fight
He's got a right to romance

(Harry Warren)
