You won't see any big parade
There won't be any bugle playing
Sad to say, no war today, 'cause the General's fast asleep
Soldiers broiled in a mighty row
They've been told they're to fight the foe
Sad to say, no war today, 'cause the General's fast asleep
The colonel's mad and the major's blue
The captain's sad and the sergeant too
Guess this war will a-have to keep
It's enough to make an army weep
Look oh look at the curly head
Time to take him away to bed
Sad to say, no war today, 'cause the General's fast asleep
It seems an awful shame
That his victory won't go down to fame
Sandman's here to dim the light
Little general, good night
There won't be any bugle playing
Sad to say, no war today, 'cause the General's fast asleep
Soldiers broiled in a mighty row
They've been told they're to fight the foe
Sad to say, no war today, 'cause the General's fast asleep
The colonel's mad and the major's blue
The captain's sad and the sergeant too
Guess this war will a-have to keep
It's enough to make an army weep
Look oh look at the curly head
Time to take him away to bed
Sad to say, no war today, 'cause the General's fast asleep
It seems an awful shame
That his victory won't go down to fame
Sandman's here to dim the light
Little general, good night
