Lyrics

Private Smith he is missed as he's blowing a kiss on the six o'clock blues tonight
They can't say his name for his moment of fame as he's waving his kids goodbye
And someone new is crying in Boston Mass today
As boys go and Toy Soldiers stay
Corporal Ken he has borrowed a pen and he's writing his life on a page
Maybe he'll sell it so someone can tell it in a Hollywood film someday
And someone new is crying in Riverside today
As boys go and Toy Soldiers stay
I'll play, you'll play
I'll be blue and you'll be gray
Let's line them up and march them far away
Now their littlest ones, they've been worrying moms who've been finding it hard to ignore
that they're spending their lives with Toy Soldiers that fight and fall on the living room floor
And someone new is crying on Main Street, U.S.A.
As boys go and Toy Soldiers stay
As boys go and Toy Soldiers stay
Private Smith he is missed as he's blowing a kiss on the six o'clock blues tonight
