| Verse: | The toy shop door is locked up tight and ev'rything is quiet for the night. When suddenly the clock strikes twelve, the fun's begun. |
| Chorus: | Her them all cheering, Now they are nearing, There's the captain stiff as starch. Bayonets flashing, Music is crashing, As the Wooden soldiers march. |
| Note: | a.k.a. 'The Parade Of The Tin Soldiers - Die Parade der Zinnsoldaten. Song With Lyrics. |
