Can I hear the story about the one legged soldier?
  Please?
  And can you tell me the story of the soldier?
  Please?
  One more time
  Or I'll knock your nose off
    Not so long ago in a toy room not so far away
  Lived a boy who had so many toys
  And he didn't know what to do with them all
  With them all, with them all
  Well his favorite of all the toys
  were the tin soldiers, the tin soldiers
  And the one that he loved the most
  was the one with the missing leg
    At night the toys would come alive
  Or that's how the story is told
  And there they met the soldier
  With the missing leg
  And the ballerina with the heart of gold
  At night they would share each others dreams
  Under the stars shining bright
  But they were too shy
  To speak of love, to speak of love
    One day the boy sat them on the windowsill
  To watch for the enemy coming over the hill
  But when the wind it blew
  It knocked him into the street
  And the boys from the town they said
  Won't you look at the one legged soldier
  Let's stick him in a boat and send him far away
  'Cause we can't find a use
  For a soldier with a missing leg
    And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend
  And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend
  He was so lonely
  Yeah
    As he floated past a river rat
  On his homemade boat
  Well the boat began to sink
  And he sank to the bottom of the river
  He got swallowed by a fish
  Caught by a fisherman
  Sold to the family of the boy who had the toys
    And the cook said look at the one legged soldier
  It looks just like the one we lost the other day
  Could this be the boy's tin soldier with the missing leg?
    But he was lonely, so lonely for a friend, oh
  And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend
  He was so lonely, yeah
  Oh yeah so lonely, oh yeah
    What about the ballarina?
    As he sat on the mantle piece to dry from the river
  The ballerina who held his heart sat at his side
  And when they got up to dance with each other
  She fell by the fire blazing bright
  When he jumped to save her from the flames
  Their bases began to melt into one and the same
  And now they share each other's destiny
  Together forever they will be
    And they are no longer lonely for a friend
  And they are no longer lonely for a friend
  No longer lonely, yeah
  no longer lonely
  Whoa whoa
  Yeah
  Whoa
  No longer lonely, yeah
    Well not so long ago in a toy room not so far away
  Lived a boy who had so many toys
  And he played with them all
  With them all, with them all
  Well he had a ballerina and a one legged soldier
  stuck together at the base
  And they share each others destiny
  as they sit on top of the mantel place
    It's the story of the one legged soldier
  The story of the one legged soldier
  The story of the tin soldier
  with the missing leg...
