Ah, yes, one of my favorites:

LITTLE PLAY SOLDIERS
(as sung by the Kingston Trio)


Two little soldiers their games are such fun
Each with his helmet and little toy gun
Pretending they're lying on the battlefield dead
After they're tucked away safe in their bed

Little play soldiers if only you knew
What kind of battles are waiting for you

Quiet don't disturb all the innocence of youth
Tell them not to lie but never tell them the truth
That men will die while little boys grow
But little play soldiers are too busy to know

Little play soldiers if only you knew
What kind of battles are waiting for you

Little white crosses and their rows are so long
How will it end if you don't know its wrong
For little play soldiers will never know why
We love them then kiss them and send them to die

Little play soldiers if only you knew
What kind of battles are waiting for you

Two little soldiers their games are such fun
Each with his helmet and little toy gun
Pretending they're lying on the battlefield dead
After they're tucked away safe in their bed
