(1) Thank you very much indeed to JohninKansas. Your link for HG Wells' Little Wars - the one you pointed to, I mean - is now gone, but $350 still stands as a price for "first edition(whether 1913 or 1931 I know not): there also appear to be other editions, including reprints/facsimiles (1913 or 1931 unclear) available. For the less well-heeled of us:

--- there is no song or anything like it in it.

(2) There appear to be at least two sets of words (different as far as I can make out, for "Betty Boop" and Disney) for "The Parade of the Tin Soldiers"/"March of the Wooden Soldiers" - neither of them (to my taste) a patch on the "There's a state of war on the nursery floor" given above in this thread. That set of words certainly fits the tune, but is it MEANT to be set to it?

(3) If these 3 sets of words are different, who wrote them, in what order? The name of ONE author is available, that I can see, but not ther other two.
