Ha-ha-ha! ho-ho-ho! / What a funny little soldier Harry is, oh, / My my my, dear dear dear, / Did ever any baby look so very queer? / Fanny laughs as loud as she can, / Ralph says, "See little soger man."
Ha-ha-ha! ho-ho-ho! / Into what army does the baby want to go? / Rub-dub-dub, march away, / That's the very tune he will want to hear some day; / He will play with a sword and gun, / He will fight till the battle's done.
Ah-ah-ah! oh-ho-ho! / Only into mama's army let the boys go; / Rub-dub-dub, drum, drum, drum, / Let me keep my baby boys always safe at home. / Wait, my brave soldiers, till quite men, / You can fight mama's battles then.
