There's a picture in the nursery
00:13
Of a well-known soldier man
00:16
And he wants to be like father
00:21
When he grows up if he can
00:24
His eyes survey the floorboards
00:27
With his soldiers around him
00:30
But, fear not for the future
00:34
You will climb the highest mountain
00:37
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
00:44
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
00:47
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
00:50
So, you're cardboard castle is standing
00:57
You're the one who is commanding
01:00
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
01:03
He's just a small boy in a small boys world
01:15
And small boys do strange things
01:18
He likes to see the matchsticks fly
01:23
And hear the cannons ring
01:26
For his eiderdown, his battlefield
01:29
And in his dreams his fights are real
01:33
Until the field is won, aim fire the guns
01:36
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
01:49
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
01:52
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
01:55
So, you're cardboard castle is standing
02:02
You're the one who is commanding
02:05
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
02:07
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
02:39
Ahh

So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
03:18
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
03:21
