Regimental Sgt. Zippo (Stereo Mix)

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 Sgt. Zippo

Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)

Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)

So, your 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 boy's 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 Sgt. Zippo

Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)

Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)

So, your 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

So, Regimental Sgt. Zippo

Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)

Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising

(Regimental, Regimental, Regimental Sgt. Zippo)

So, Regimental Sgt. Zippo

Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)

Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising

So, Regimental Sgt. Zippo

Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
