Regimental Sgt. Zippo (Band Version)
There's a picture in the nursery
Of a well-known soldier man
And he wants to be like father
When he grows up if he can
His eyes survey the floorboards
With his soldiers around him
But, fear not for the future
You will climb the highest mountain
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
So, you're cardboard castle is standing
You're the one who is commanding
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
He's just a small boy in a small boys world
And small boys do strange things
He likes to see the matchsticks fly
And hear the cannons ring
For his eiderdown, his battlefield
And in his dreams his fights are real
Until the field is won, aim fire the guns
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
So, you're cardboard castle is standing
You're the one who is commanding
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
Ahh
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising
Of a well-known soldier man
And he wants to be like father
When he grows up if he can
His eyes survey the floorboards
With his soldiers around him
But, fear not for the future
You will climb the highest mountain
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
So, you're cardboard castle is standing
You're the one who is commanding
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
He's just a small boy in a small boys world
And small boys do strange things
He likes to see the matchsticks fly
And hear the cannons ring
For his eiderdown, his battlefield
And in his dreams his fights are real
Until the field is won, aim fire the guns
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
So, you're cardboard castle is standing
You're the one who is commanding
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
Ahh
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sergeant Zippo)
Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising
