He said he wanted to be a good soldier He said he wanted to fight - be a hero Military costumes In the magazines Marching to the drums Make real his wildest dreams Its so dramatic- We'll lead you to victory Its so exciting Don't want to turn back now Forward into battle Face the enemy Young ambitious men go marching Onto victory So far away - fire away! The blazing colours of battle attracted He'll win a medal for his victory Aiming at the front line He is not afraid Shooting at the men Like ducks upon a range He said he wanted to be a great soldier He said he wanted to fight like his heroes When you take the sunshine You must take the rain When you k** the wrong man You must take the blame So far away - fire away!
