Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Never released<br><br>There's a picture in the nursery of a well known soldier man<br>And he wants to be like father when he grows up if he can<br>His eyes survey the floorboards with his soldiers around him<br>But fear not for the future, you will climb the highest mountain<br><br>So regimental sergeant zippo<br>Stand up to attention will you<br>Hear the bugle sounding in the morning call up rising<br>So your cowboy castle is standing<br>You're the one who is commanding<br>Watch them march along the landing down the stairs<br><br>Just a small boy in a small boy's world<br>And small boys do strange things<br>He likes to see the match sticks fly<br>And hear the cannons ring<br>For his eider down, his battle field<br>And in his dreams his fights are real<br>Until the field is won, aim, fire the guns
