[Verse 1]
One toy soldier stands alone
With his drum down by his side
One toy soldier on his own
With his drum to keep the time

[Chorus 1]
He keeps the beet of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He's one small toy for one small boy
But his heart is oh, so blue

[Verse 2]
Who can mend my broken drum?
Will it be as good as new?
I must play when morning comes
I don't, what shall I do?

[Chorus 2]
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
While children sleep in dreams so deep
There's a secret he must hide

[Chorus 3]
For he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He wants to sing and hopes to bring
Happy Christmas day to you

[Interlude]

[Chorus 4]
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
Someone has come to mend his drum
Now his heart lights up with pride

[Chorus 5]
So he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
When morning comes, he plays his drum

[Outro]
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
Happy Christmas Day to you!
Holidays are here again
