Festive, elegant nights,
And toy soldiers in a row.
Multi-colored Christmas lights
Reveal eyes that seem to know!
They gleam by the fireside
With Nutcracker and Drummer Boy,
And all so solemn, dignified,
As if under command to deploy.
Toy soldiers, tall and brave-Oh my!
Dressed all in dark blue and red.
Brave soldiers never cry.
Brave soldiers have never fled.
Toy soldiers, how well they look!
Upon the varnished, wooden floor.
A secret mission they've undertook,
In a most secret war!
Silent soldiers, under hidden command,
So somber and all aglow!
The festive hall so grand,
And toy soldiers in a row.
