Little man, you're crying, I know why you're blue
Someone took your kiddy car away
Better go to sleep now, little man, you've had a busy day
Johnny won your marbles, tell you what we'll do
Dad'll get you new ones, right away
Better go to sleep now, little man, you've had a busy day
You've been playing soldier, the battle has been won
The enemy is out of sight
Come along there soldier, put away your gun
The war is over for tonight
Time to stop your scheming, time your day was through
Can't you hear the bugle softly say?
Time you should be dreaming, little man, you've had a busy day
Little man, you've had a busy day
