Tin Soldier Man

.

Just a quiet city sport[?]

With a wife and little kids to support

So immaculately dressed when he walks

Like a soldier on parade

.

He's a tin soldier man

Living in a little tin wonderland

Very happy little tin soldier man

When you set him on your knee

.

Every day you see his army march down the street

Changing guards at the high road

.

He's a tin soldier man

.

Wickie wa-waddle doo[?]

And he's got a little tin lady too

Just to put a little shine on his shoes

And keep his uniform tidy

.

He's a tin soldier man

.

Wickie wa-waddle doo[?]

And he's got a little tin lady too

Just to put a little shine on his shoes

And make his uniform tidy

.

He's a tin soldier man

Living in a little tin wonderland

Very happy little tin soldier man

When you sit him on your knee

.

He's a tin soldier man

He's a tin soldier man

.
