| Can I hear the story about the one legged soldier please / And can you tell me the story of the soldier please / One more time or I'll knock your nose off / Not so long ago / in a toy room not so far away / Lived 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 the tin soldiers / the tin soldiers / And the one that he loved the most / was the one with the missing leg / At night the toys would come alive / or that's how the story is told / And there they met the soldier / with the missing leg / And the ballerina / with the heart of gold / At night they would share / each others dreams / Under the stars shining bright / But they were too 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 when the wind blew / it knocked him into the street / And the boys from the town they said / Won't you look at the one legged soldier / Let's stick him in a boat / and send him far away / 'Cuz I can't find a use / for a soldier with a missing leg / And he was lonely / so lonely for a friend / And he was lonely / so lonely for a friend / As he floated past a river rat / On his homemade boat / Well the boat began to sink / And he sank to the bottom of the river / He got swallowed by a fish / Caught by a fisherman / Sold to the family / 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 boy's tin soldier / with the missing leg / As he sat on the
mantle piece / to dry from the river / The ballerina who held his heart / sat at his side / And when they got up to dance / with each other / They fell by the fire / blazing bright / When he jumped to save her from the flames / Their bases began to melt / into one in the same / And now they share each others destiny / Together forever they will be / And they are / no longer lonely / for a friend / And they are / no longer lonely / for a friend / Not so long 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 base / And they share each others destiny / as they sit on top / of the
mantel place / It's the story of the one legged soldier / The story of the one legged soldier / The story of the tin soldier / with the missing leg |
