We hear the marching of footsteps The rhythmic pulses of, "TEN HUP, TEN HUP, TEN HUP!" The bridge that looms in the distance Has lead our way with a, "TEN HUP, TEN HUP, TEN HUP!" The book, it told me to say, "YES, SIR!" The foot soldiers, they say a, "YES, SIR!" The leader wants for us all to, "YES, SIR!" Will footsteps quicken the fall? Well, "YES, SIR!" Are you questioning me? Well, "NO, SIR!" Have I not taught you to be? Well, "NO, SIR!" My image thrust onto thee? Well, "NO, SIR!" I always wanted to be a soldier! Break-step, soldier You cannot cross Break-step, soldier Put your arms down Break-step, soldier You cannot cross Break-step, soldier Put your arms down The book it told me to say, "Yes, sir!" The foot soldiers, they say a, "Yes, sir!" The leader wants for us all to, "Yes, sir!" Will footsteps quicken the fall? If we allow them to cross They'll surely break this bridge With their rhythmic procession of perfect steps And if we allow them to cross They'll surely break this bridge With their rhythmic procession of empty steps! The book it told me to say, "Yes, sir!" The foot soldiers, they say a, "Yes, sir!" The leader wants for us all to, "Yes, sir!" Will footsteps quicken the fall? Are you questioning me? Well, "No, sir!" Have I not taught you to be? Well, "No, sir!" My image thrust onto thee? Well, "No, sir!" I always wanted to be a soldier!
