    A                E
The toy shop door is locked up tight
    A             E
And everything is quiet for the night

When suddenly

The fun's begun

The dolls are in their best arrayed

Hark to the drum

Cries everyone

Hear them all cheering

Now they are nearing
                    E

Bayonet's flashing, Music is crashing
              A
As the wooden soldiers march


Verse 2:

Sabres a-clinking
A
Soldiers a-winking

At each pretty little maid
