Can I here the storie about the one-legged solider, please?
And can you tell the storie of the soldier, please?
One more time
Or I'll knock your nose off
(Ike, Tay and Zac singing)
Not so long ago in a toy room
Not so far awayLived a boy
who had so many toys
And he didn't know what to do with them all
with them all
with them all
Well his favorite of all the toys
Were his tin soldiers
And the one that he loved the most
Was the one with the missing leg
And at night the toys would come alive,
Or thats how the storys told
There they met the soldier with the missing leg
And the ballerina with the hart of gold
At night they would share eash others dreams
Under the stars shining bright
But they where to shy to speak of love
To speak of love
One day the boy sat them on the windowsill
To watch for the enemy
Coming over the hill
But then the wind it blew
And knocked him into the street
And some boys picked him upp
They said
Won't you look at the one legged soldier
Lets take him in a boat,
And send him far away
Cause you can't find a use
With a missing leg
And he was lonely
So lonely
For a friend
Then he was lonely
So lonely
For a friend
He was so lonely
As he flowed past a river raft
On his homemade boat
Well the boat began to sink
And it sank to the bottom of the river
And got swallowed by a fish
caught by a fisherman
Sold to the friend of the boy who had the toys
And the cook said look
At the one legged soldier
It looks just like the one we lost the other day
Could this be the boys tin soldier
With the missing leg
But he was lonely
So lonely
For a friend
He was lonely yeah
So lonely yeah
As he sat on the mantelpiece,
He dried from the river,
The ballerina who held his heart
Sat at his side
And when they got up to dance with each other
She fell by the fire
Blazing bright
When he jumped to save her
From the flames
Ther faces began to melt into one in the same
And now they share each others destiny
Togheter forever, they will be
And they are not longer lonely
For a friend
And they are not longer lonely
For a friend
No longer lonely yeah
No longer lonely yeah
No longer lonely yeah
Well, not so longe ago
In a toy room not so far away
Lived a boy who had so many toys and he
played with them all
with them all
with them all
Well he had a ballerina and a one legged soldier
Stuck together at the face
And they share each others destiny
As they sit on the top of the mantelplace
It's the story of the one-legged soldier
The story of the one-legged soldier
The story of the one-legged soldier
The story of the tin soldier
With the missing leg
