text: Regimental Sergeant Zippo
  Theres a picture in the nursery
  Of a well know 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
  Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising
  So, youre cardboard castle is standing
  Youre the one who is commanding
  Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
  Hes 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
  Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising
  So, youre cardboard castle is standing
  Youre the one who is commanding
  Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
  Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
  Aah
  So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
  Stand up to attention will you
  Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising
  So, Regimental Sergeant Zippo
  Stand up to attention will you
  Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising
