[Verse 2]
Little man you're cryin'
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
[Verse 2]
Johnny won your marbles
Tell you what we'll do
Dad will get you new ones right away
Better go to sleep now
Little man you've had a busy day
[Bridge]
You've been playin' 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
[Verse 3]
Time to stop your schemin'
Time your day was through
Can't you hear the bugle softly say?
Time you should be dreamin'
Little man you've had a busy day
Time you should be dreamin'
Little man you've had a busy day
[Bridge]
You've been playin' soldier
The battle has been won
The enemy is out of sight
Ah, come along there soldier
Put away your gun
The war is over for tonight
[Outro]
Time to stop your schemin'
Time your day was through
Can't you hear the bugle softly say? (*imitates bugle)
Time you should be dreamin'
Little man you've had a busy day
