Regimental Sgt. Zippo (Stereo Mix) Lyrics

There's a picture in the nursery of a well-known 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 Sgt. Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
So, your 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 boy's 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 Sgt. Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
So, your 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

So, Regimental Sgt. Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising
(Regimental, Regimental, Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
So, Regimental Sgt. Zippo
Stand up to attention will you (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising

So, Regimental Sgt. Zippo
Hear the bugle sounding as the morning call up rising (Regimental Sgt. Zippo)
