FOOT-SOLDIERS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TIS ALL THE WAY TO TOE-TOWN
Last Line: ARE SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.
Subject(s): SOLDIERS;
'Tis all the way to Toe-town,
Beyond the Knee-high hill,
That Baby has to travel down
To see the soldiers drill.

One, two, three, four, five, a-row --
A captain and his men --
And on the other side, you know,
Are six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
