Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Never released
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 sergeant zippo Stand up to attention will you Hear the bugle sounding in the morning call up rising So your cowboy castle is standing You're the one who is commanding Watch them march along the landing down the stairs
Just a small boy in a small boy's world And small boys do strange things He likes to see the match sticks fly And hear the cannons ring For his eider down, his battle field And in his dreams his fights are real Until the field is won, aim, fire the guns
