Bugles playing, drums beating
Soldiers marching to war
The bugle sounds…
The drums sound…
There were bombs and guns and explosions
It was loud and horrendous
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A gun fired and wounded a soldier
He fell down to the ground
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A nurse looked in her purse
And fixed the soldier
She healed his wounds
Ow! Ow! Ow!
The soldiers missed their families
Their families missed them too
They sent them birthday cards and food
Yum! Yum! Yum!
The war ended
The soldiers went home
They saw their families again
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
