Little Soldier
Ha-ha-ha! ho-ho-ho!
What a funny little soldier Harry is, oh,
My my my, dear dear dear,
Did ever any baby look so very queer?
Fanny laughs as loud as she can,
Ralph says, “See little soger man.”
Ha-ha-ha! ho-ho-ho!
Into what army does the baby want to go?
Rub-dub-dub, march away,
That’s the very tune he will want to hear some day;
He will play with a sword and gun,
He will fight till the battle’s done.
Ah-ah-ah! oh-ho-ho!
Only into mama’s army let the boys go;
Rub-dub-dub, drum, drum, drum,
Let me keep my baby boys always safe at home.
Wait, my brave soldiers, till quite men,
You can fight mama’s battles then.
