Little green men in a box of toys
Playing pretend with the cul-de-sac boys
Scattered all around the kitchen floor
Headed off to fight that living room war
Black bandana in a belly crawl
To home base down the hall
Stars and Stripes in her bright blue eyes
She took that call and took her pride
She was ready to fight and ready to die
To keep Old Glory flying high
Just a little girl, little dream back then
She couldn't wait to fight like the little green men
Little green men came to senior day
They signed her up and they took her away
Middle of the summer, ten weeks long
Trained her up and made the girl army strong
Laced up boots and a slicked back blonde
With a one way 'cross the pond
Stars and Stripes in her bright blue eyes
She took that call and took her pride
She was ready to fight and ready to die
To keep Old Glory flying high
Just a little girl, little dream back then
Now she's headed off to fight with the little green men
Little green men folding up the flag
The cul-de-sac boys welcomed her back
She paid her dues and she paid the price
She made the ultimate sacrifice
They played Taps and sang a hymn and laid her down in Arlington
Stars and Stripes in her bright blue eyes
She took that call and took her pride
She was ready to fight and ready to die
To keep Old Glory flying high
Just a little girl, little dream back then
She gave her life with the little green men
Little green men in a box of toys
Playing pretend with the cul-de-sac boys
