Regimental sergeant zippo.

There's 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

(Regimental sergeant zippo)

Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising

(Regimental sergeant zippo)

So, you're 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 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

(Regimental sergeant zippo)

Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising

(Regimental sergeant zippo)

So, you're 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

Aah...

So, regimental sergeant zippo

Stand up to attention will you

(Regimental sergeant zippo)

Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising

(Regimental sergeant zippo)

So, regimental sergeant zippo

Stand up to attention will you

(Regimental sergeant zippo)

Hear the bugle sound in the morning call up rising.
