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

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

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

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
< instrumental bridge >
Time you should be dreamin',
Little man you've had a busy day
